Thread: By chance I got 800 kB/s while downloading a torrent!!

Hello!

I am using BSNL Broadband for past 2 years and I m using BBG FN Combo 600.

I download tons of torrents every day during my unlimited period using utorrent and I usually get 180-190 kB/s. But today something miracle happened with me for the first time. Read on....

Today I was downloading torrents during my unlimited usage period (2 to 8 am) and I was getting my usual speed (i.e. 180 kB/s) but it suddenly started getting me 700 to 800 kB/s just for few seconds...it also went till 1.05 mB/s!! but only for few seconds. Then it started giving me my old speed.
Check out the attachment, its a snap I tried to take when this happened but the speed was changing very fast so its not very proper.

I know, I can get maximum speed of 256 kB/s. As I told before, I am using BSNL for last 2 years and the maximum speed I ever got is 215-225 KB/s on utorrent.

So why that happened to me?? It never happened to me before on utorrent.
Has anyone went through such thing like me?

wow man congrats

even I am using BSNL for two years. same plan as yours.
i use bittorrent to download and my normal download speed varies from 220-248kB/s

one day it reached 400+ while downloading something by flashget :P
and i always get around 280KB/s while downloading by IDM

It happens due to buffering. At times, your torrent client downloads data which goes unaccounted and when it is again calculated it shows a huge values due to already downloaded data. It happens for a few seconds. Nothing bad in it. So don't worry. Me on UL 750. At times, my values goes to 117 KBps or something. Same reason.

Yeah... As @meetdilip noted, it occurs due to buffering.

Avg DL speeds captured by IDM (at home) is 250-ish. Back in college, I remember getting 500+

Ah, those were the days.
