Are you trying to seed predominately or only private torrents? Are you firewalled in uTorrent? In order to understand download times, you need to understand the difference between bits and bytes, and how they impact your download speeds.
They both represent an amount of data, just different amounts of data. A bit is a binary digit of 1 or 0 and a byte is equal to eight bits. A bit is represented by a lowercase b and a byte with an uppercase B. This means that a kilobyte KB is eight times larger than a kilobit Kb , and a megabyte MB is eight times larger than a megabit Mb.
Part of the reason for the confusion is that files sizes are usually displayed in bytes, but internet speeds are always shown in bits. All internet speeds are measured in bits per second, and so a broadband package with an average speed of 8Mbps means the maximum you will get is eight megabits per second, or the equivalent of one megabyte per second.
Technically, all internet speeds should be written as 'Mbps' and not 'Mb' because without specifying the time taken, it's a size, not a speed. A download time is affected by many things:. The main exception to this rule is if you're using a full fibre connection, also known as fibre to the premises FTTP , which is unaffected by the distance you live from the exchange. Even with this more reliable kind of connection, however, your speed will still be impacted by the number of customers using the service at any one time.
