What's the fastest you've ever had a torrent go?

[archcommus]

And how many seeds did it have?

I just had one hit 730 KB/sec, new record for me, that's with only 21 seeds and 24 peers.

So I imagine many of you have seen over 1 MB/sec before.

 

[nater]

i've only seen maybe ~125. I've hit over 1mb on irc

 

[Ika]

highest i've seen is 230. my max bandwidth is 250 (or was it 350?).

 

[eLiu]

2mb/s 🙂 (bytes, not bits)

school pipe ftw

 

[Spineshank]

Hit 500k once. Everyonce in awhile i see over 400k. Im happy if im hitting 200k.

 

[purbeast0]

whats a torrent?

 

[bigfil]

300ish which is max right now

 

[imported_LoKe]

28.6kbp/s.

 

[xtknight]

600kB/sec down on a Linux ISO download.

 

[CravenTacos]

ill hit some of linux distros at over 1 mb/s the first week or so they're out. but for most i'll cap out at like 600

 

[cKGunslinger]

56 KB/s 🙁

 

[Tiamat]

820KB/sec 5 seeds, 12 peers.

That was sustained for about 15 minutes. For somereason, I was able to exceed my comcast 6mbps bandwidth for dl.

Edit2: Power burst I guess is what comcast now has which enables the extra bandwidth.

 

[Rufus12]

74KB/s 😀

 

[Axoliien]

I've hit over 2 megs/sec before at work on some distributions, but I usually get about 200-300k at home on good distributions. It really depends on the number of available pieces.

 

[schneiderguy]

200kbps 🙁

about 850kb/s, with SuSE 10.1.

 

[hdeck]

200+ kb/s

 

[NatePo717]

2.6 mb/s with close to 1000 seeds =P

 

[Shawn]

i was hitting about 430kb/s last night. that's probably the fastest i've even seen a torrent download.

 

[Alowishus]

120 kbps before I replaced my linksys wireless router setup with a smoothwall setup. 180 kbps afterward.

 

[drinkmorejava]

I had about 1.2mb/s for a few minutes. With newsgroups, though, I've gotten bursts of over 2mb.

 

[ruffilb]

The highest? Probably 500KPBS, usually only around 200KPBS for high-load stuff.

 

[Brainonska511]

600-700kB/s

 

[Baked]

<--- writes down everybody's name and sends it to MPAA

 

[imported_Phil]

235kB/sec, max the line will do is 240kB/sec.
