I have learned that torrent download speed is sum total of upload speeds of seeds.
I have a broadband connection of 1 MbPs ( b in small case ) which should give me about 120-140kbps speed. Right? And it does. But when I download a file with good amount of seeds I almost always get 5-6MBps (big B) that means 3-4 mins to download a 700 mb file while as per my internet plan I should get 120-140kbps which would take an hour and a half to download the same file.
This led me to believe that perhaps my ISP is being generous by allowing torrent downloads at higher speed than what pay for. BUT..
If I download a torrent file that has average amount of seeds I get normal 120-140kpbs (which is what I should always be getting). I thought that perhaps it's the sum total of upload speed of seeds that is the limiting factor and not my internet connection. But to my surprise I found out that if I change my internet plan from 1MbPS to 2 MbPS , the speed just doubled immediately.. ie. 120kbps increases to 250kbps. While behavior for torrent files that have very high amount of seeds remained the same (5-6MBPS speed).
What is the explaination for this? Why can't I download files with average seeds at higher speed ?
