I am unclear how does the torrent download affects the speed test. I am on a 5 Mbps line, When I download my torrent file at the speed of 300KB/s ( big B), then the speed test speed (www.speedtest.net)drops to 2.5Mbps ( small b). Two questions arise:
- It seems that the torrent speed is not optimized because It should download at 600KB/s ( consumes around
600K*8=4.8Mbps
), and leave speed test speed to be minimum. Am I right? - Separate question: is the relationship between torrent speed and the browsing speed expressed in the below equation correct?
total speed given by ISP=speed used by torrent+browsing speed+network overhead?
Note: The torrent file I download has more than 2000 peers, so lacking of peer is not the problem.
