Thread: Bsnl 750ul plan speed

hi everyone...im from chennai(tn)....i use the 750UL plan of bsnl which provides 512Kbps....i usually browse and download a lot..approx i use 15GB-20GB permonth both down and up.....and while i use torrents with good seeds i get a max speed of 55kB/s and not more than that and 58kB/s in case of fileserver oo rapidshare...

i read some of threads in this forum. Everyone having this plan states that they get a speed of 60-70kB/s constantly.

my question is why dont i get 60-70kB/s even on a good torrent?

Speed is ok.

Anyway try tcp/ip optimizer from speedguide.net.

whenever you download something ~6% is overhead meaning if your connection max download speed is 64KBps you will get max actual dl speed 94% of 64=60KBps.overhead is more in case of torrents.to give you an idea my download manager show avg download speed ~205KBps while my bandwidth monitoring software reports speed ~220KBps.the difference is due to overhead.only way you can get 64KBps on a 512kbps line is if your total download speed cap is set at a value higher than 512kbps at local exchange.there are some example of this where people after running 4mbps plan with FUP changed back to 2mbps limited with night free plan & started getting ~240KBps since the limit at local exchange remained at 4mbps.

my question is why dont i get 60-70kB/s even on a good torrent?

The question is how you define a good torrent. If you are just into seeds, peers too matters. Which torrent client do you use ? Latest version of utorrent shows the health of torrent too.

Speed can be affected by tracker, health of torrent, torrent client used and a lot of other factors. You can try some private trackers where there are insanely high no. of seeds than peers.

As for direct links, source does matter. Try a download from Microsoft and report your speed. If you ask me, not everyone is lucky enough to get 60 - 70 KBps as the line condition may not be good enough. I live at a stone throw distance from exchange and line is brand new with almost no joints.

As I mentioned before, speedtest.net gives only an idea and the actual results can vary.
