Hello everyone,

Title says it all really. I went on speedtest.net and it says my download speed is 5mbps, but when downloading a torrent im only getting around 10 -20 kbps. The torrent is sims 4, there are lots of seeders/peers, not sure what to do...

please could you explain why, or a solution

Thanks :)

Don't download copyrighted materials illegally. Even if you were using torrent for valid purposes many ISP have limited this protocol. It is massively abused and a single user in a neighborhood on say cable can degrade everyone experience.

You of course can buy a vpn service to hide your torrent but it would likely be cheaper and faster to buy the game.
