Hey guys I need some help. For some reason every time I check my download speed either by site or app I get anywhere from 3-5mbs but when I'm actually downloading (Via utorrent mostly) I never get more than 500kbs. Now when I use my wifi connection I actually get a faster download speed than my Ethernet connection. I know torrents are perfect but I max out always around 500kbs on both my PC's. I'm wondering if it might be a setting in either my modem or router. Thanks for the help.

Alright thanks but is their any setting in my modem or router that could be responsible for this cause its not so much that the download sites show me having 3mbs and me only getting 500kbs but the fact that my wifi is faster than my ethernet.
