Is anyone else getting slow speeds on Optima?

Hey everyone,
I recently upgraded my speed with Comcast
from 20 to 30 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up.

The problem is, when I'm using uTorrent, I can barely hit 2.1 MB/s.

Does anyone know what the catch might be?

Maybe the torrent you're grabbing just sucks—bad ratio of seeders to peers, nothing more...
Give this one a shot to test things out and let me know how fast it actually hits.

You're right, my speed is holding steady at about 3.1 MB per second.

THANKS!

Since you’re bringing up torrents, you should really look into signing up for a private tracker—I won't mention specific sites here since we have to follow the rules, but man, the download speeds are incredible... you're basically hitting max capacity all the time.

Thanks for the tip. Honestly, I've been hanging out on those private trackers since back in 2002 or 2003.👍
