I am using ttorrent right now and when im downloading a file, my download speed goes really high, reaches a max speed and drops to zero then shoots right back up. The thing is this happens on my a500 too. I dont know if there is a setting im missing.
yeah ttorrent suck! always get slow speeds ( fluctuates badly )
try Adownloader, i get dl speeds up to 800kb/s
set upload limit to 25/45 or higher depending on your upload speed and you will find better dl result. give it a try and gluck.
I get the same behaviour with adownloader.
Sounds like throttling boys. Which IP do you have?

Have you tried ttorrent pro? I known the lite version is limited on speed. I love ttorrent pro, switched from adownloader. How fast is your internet? If you allow too high upload it will affect download. Also do you torrent to your microsd? I noticed if I use my internal drive my speeds are much lower. I use a class 10 32gb Samsung works great. I get between 1.5-3.8MB/s

Same thing happens to me when I use ADM (Advanced Download Manager) which isn't even a torrent downloader, but it uses multiple connections to download files in parts.
My guess is that mobile radios cant handle multiple incoming/outgoing connections like a PC can.

DO NOT USE THE SPEEDTEST APP!! I was going crazy trying to figure out why I kept getting the same speeds as my Iphone 4 no matter the location or signal strength. Turns out that when I went directly to the speakeasy speedtest from the browser I got 11.51Mbps down and 1.06Mbps up!
(will upload pic of my results when i get more than 8 posts )
My guess is that the phone throttles the speeds for non intensive internet apps and it accidentally throttles speedtest. Nevertheless the only thing that was bugging me about this phone is fixed!
Yep you're right just got 10.78 down and 1.28 up

i'm guessing this assumes that you live in one of the cities that the speakeasy browser test lets you select from...
i live in st. louis, so the closest city i could select was chicago - same results as the app for me.
Still getting 2.8-3.0/1 going this route. Exact same as the app for me.

I know I could feel better download speeds from actually using this device compared to kg ip4 and this just confirmed it. Thank you for the heads up.

Same here. Chicago was actually slower for me than the speedtest app. I always get the best results from overland park,KS.

Speed test app gave me 2.5 down about 0.8 up.
Ran a test on speakeasy as well as sprints speed test site and got
7.65 down 1.25 up on both

Those not getting the faster speeds try to pick a different server. I sometimes get better speeds from the san francisco server than the local LA server. Also, from home, I get 2-3 bars and never get over 3.5 Mbps so keep in mind that the tower youre connected to might not be upgraded for faux 4g or your signal might be weak.
When I run Speedtest on my Verizon 4G Xoom, it's showing 25-30 down.

When I run Speedtest on my gaming PC with Comcast Extreme I get 85GB down. What's your point?
Im on fiber here Im guessing I shouldnt say what Im getting
on H+ on att here in NYC, Jercity city and when taking Amtrak to Wilmington De, I am constantly getting 287k DOWN and 345k UP.. sucks!!!!!!!!!!
But, much better than my iphone on 3G.
Speedtest app gave me speeds of 2-3.5mb down and 1-1.3 up. Speakeasy speed test site now gives me 8.89mb down and 1.09 up. Very nice!
Using speakeasy, I got much better results. When the bandwidth is there, I'm able to get 7Mbps down, where as with the speed test app, I was having a hard time getting over 3Mbps.

I think it's Speakeasy or something. I get 11.5mbps download, and 3.5mbps upload on 4G from Speakeasy, but from Speedtest I get around 3.5mbps download, and 1.5mbps upload.
From my computer on wifi, using speedtest.net I get around 7mbps download, and around 4mbps upload. But using Speakeasy, it jumps to 11.5mbps download and 3.75mbps upload.
So, I think it's just that Speakeasy somehow boosts it up?
All I'm saying is that it's not a problem throttling the bandwidth of SpeedTest.
EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to turn Wi-Fi off on my phone . Sorry, noob error. Using Speakeasy I get 1Mbps download, and .9Mbps upload...
Getting 3mbps on GS2 while my girlfriend's Atrix 2 gets 6mbps. Tried speedtest app, speak easy, Sprint's network test. Wtf? Maybe I got the wrong phone.
When on 5mhz N the max I get is 65mbs. I know my network will go 300 so is this a limitation of the Note?
Thanks!

anytime a device is using a dual band router...5ghz is the fastest on wifi.....make sure when choosing it..your wifi setting are not on 2.4 or auto...make sure your on 5ghz as well to achieve maximum performance..do this by clicking menu in wifi setting I believe
Hmm, tried that but no change even when standing right by the router.
Thanks though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I think you have reached the limit of the device if you are seeing 65....g
if your just looking at your wifi screen and it says 65mb....that's not telling you much at all...download speedtest app in market....make 2 profiles 1 with your 2.4 ghz with password on router and a 5ghz one....now scan your phone and simpky try each and test each one separatetly on wifi, that's the only way to know what ghz is really faster, then looking at the wifi login screen..
You must not live in the US. I would kill for those speeds.

Are you sure your not looking at this menu..lmao....Yes the picture of my 2.4 ghz says 65mpbs but with testing. the note will never achieve this value..believe me...the most I have ever seen is upper 40's on wifi....the picture of your your wifi screen means hardly nothing...testing it on speedtest will verify what thkse actual wifi speeds are

Yeah so is mine but that'll only give you local transfer speeds, not from the Internet
It's been a while since I looked ...
But the note maximum wifi capacity is in the 50-60 range I believe ...
Again ...I honestly can't remember.
That sure would a nice speed ...
My best is around 10 down ....g
This is my fastest on wifi...some higher on Lte...I made a thread in general section called Att apn hack if interested...here's my screen shots..
so yes its possible..

by the way, wouldnt the note write speed limit you anyway?
like your connection is 300mb u say. so say you had it transferring at 250mb....but could it? since i doubt the note could write data that fast? well at least not to the emmc. doesnt where u writing to internal or external matter as to how fast those memory/drives are?

I have a d/l speed of about 20mbs on my sgs3 bit when I try and use bit torrent or utorrent to download it get next to nothing. I get decent connection on wifi but live in a village and only get 2mbs. Do you think my provider (ee uk) are limiting it? Or is there a way of making it faster that bit just can't see?
Thanks

not sure if 100% accurate, but torrents should require more processing power which is what limits your data transfer. for example i usually get like 6-8MB/s on my laptop but if i set up my router as a download box (800MHz proc) i get max 1MB and often the router craches die to its inability to process the large volume of data fast enough. I think the same thing happens with your device also.
Hi. Recently I have been experiencing extremely, painfully slow Internet over the last few days on three UK. Normally its fine but the last few weeks it has been really slow. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Its slow at my house where I live but anywhere else and its fine? Any help?

Mines been the same I'm in the north east, it seems to be getting back to normal now though.
The other problem I have is my internet signal usually disappears on a saturday and sunday during the day.
Only help is to contact your network or try a different network sim .

Switching from 02 I've noticed the speeds are slower. Using speed test I'd always be over 1mb with 02 but barely can get half a mb with 3. It doesn't really bothered me though because I only use it for streaming radio and browsing what is very snappy despite the slow connection.
Could you do a speed test using the speed test apply.
I got 102ping. 455kbps down. 587kbps up. Very odd my upload being faster than my download.

I got ping 58 , 13.35 Mbps download and 3.35 Mbps upload in town where my internet works because its not near where I live. And at home I get ping 355, 0.56 Mbps download and 0.33 upload.. In don't get it its just rubbish where I live nowhere else .. And I've tried switching to a different three sim but to no prevail. I now have to use pur home WiFi because 3G is always too slow to load. But seeming as I have a "all you can eat data plan" it seems pointless to use WiFi might as well use 3G since I have it

Do you know how torrents work? The maximum speed is determined by the upload speed of all the users seeding that particular file, then take into account how many people are also downloading it. You can have a maximum download speed of say 5KBps for a rare file, or 10MBps for something popular with a lot of seeders.
