Actually using what I have

Charter 30/5

how if at all possible do I download stuff @ that speed?

With torrents ill makx at like 3-4 down same with steam and whatever. Is there a way to utilize the bandwith I have?

i've never gotten over 3.7 on steam, i think they limit it on their end. you'll never get that high of speed from a single download source. cue up multiple downloads from fast servers and see what you can get.

run this, and tell us your results: http://www.speedtest.net/

If your torrent program is reporting the speed as MB/s (MegaBytes per second) and not mb/s (megabits per second), then 3-4 MB/s is actually pretty much maxing out the capacity of your 30mpbs connection.
