That seems unlikely, at least for "much" faster. I torrent movies occasionally and even fairly unpopular ones often max out my download speed. Unless you're downloading something obscure, bittorrent is really fast.
- danielbarla 6y agoIt's quite possible that our experiences differ. For me, Steam is the one that regularly maxes out my line (at around 300 mbits/sec), while with torrents, I normally get around 1/10th of that. It may well be my VPN provider, though it does seem to depend on popularity, choice of exit endpoint, etc.
- fomine3 6y agoSteam's CDN(Limelight) provides the fastest download speed in my experience (like 600Mbps, limited by my connection). Maybe very popular torrent is also faster but not to be guarantee to be.
