Are downloads of torrents similarly limited or does the distributed nature allow for much higher speeds?

Are downloads of torrents similarly limited or does the distributed nature allow for much higher speeds?
- nilsbunger 14y agoThat's a great question! Downloading a 1GB file, I peaked at 65 Mbps download rate just now. It ramped up slowly over a period of a few minutes. I was connected to 58 of 60 peers to get that rate.
- fratis 14y agoSorry if this is obvious, but to clarify: is that around 8 MB/s? Or did you mean 65 MB/s?
- nilsbunger 14y agoYes, 8 MBytes/sec, or 65 Mbits/sec.
