Is this a good speed?

I'm meant to be on 20mb, while d/l'ing torrents got the speed shown in the screenshot. Fast or slow?

For a torrent that's not a bad speed.

I would however blur what you've been downloading out, unless you want to show everyone ur illegal activities

Re: Is this a good speed?

You cannot really judge the adequacy of your connection based on torrents. What you get will depend a lot on who and how many people are uploading, and the speeds they are allowing in upload, as well as the number of connections you allow. Fine tuning your torrent software can make a difference, balancing upload and download so neither can saturate your bandwidth.
