Download speed issues

Post by Clovers »

Today I've had problems with download speed not going above exactly 1 MiB no matter the number of connections, even though bandwidth test gave me the usual values around 8-9. I suspected the provider had started messing with P2P so I installed a VPN, but nothing changed.
What could be the issue? I'm on Win 10 and using the latest version.

Most bandwidth tests give results in megabits/second.

qBitTorrent measures speeds in MegaBytes/second.

It takes about 8.3-9.5 megabits/second upload bandwidth to reach 1 MegaByte/second upload speed in qBitTorrent.

Could it be an infrastructure issue? I *have* been getting the occasional brief disconnect in the past few weeks.

For the record, 1 MiB is indeed below my average, I usually easily get 4-6 with a lot of connections. But for some reason it stops at 1 MiB as if it's being capped, and apparently the ISP isn't the problem.

EDIT: Currently installing a game on GOG Galaxy and... yeah. Yeah, definitely a network problem. Sorry to have wasted your time, guys.

Network problem on your computer, router, modem, ISP, or elsewhere?

Network as in the whole infrastructure. I've had the occasional connection hiccup the past few weeks, so that might be to blame.
