Ignorant question about my network (Have mercy on me)

[poisondrama]

Good evening, now I will ask you a question, I hope you can help me, I practically have this connection of mine, unfortunately living in the mountains is not the best, but better than nothing, well, when I download on Windows, however, the downloads do not go beyond 1 mbps, even on uTorrent, I also tried to open the ports of the router but nothing, does anyone know if there is something to do to improve the situation on the PC? Thank you, and sorry for the long monologue.

Close the ports up, it will not speed up throughput

Really?

 

[bug]

That 14Mbps is measured? Or is that your theoretical download speed?

Your ISP is curtailing your uTorrent downloads you might want to turn on Encryption in uTorrent

If your link, as measured by FAST, is 10 to 15 Mbps, the fastest you could download at would be around 1,3 to 1,9 MB/s (capital B is important, B = b/8).
Now, while torrenting can make use of your download speeds to the fullest, that also depends on the availability and upload speed of the seeds on the file you're testing with (I won't ask what it was, just if it had many seeds sharing the file).

You said, however, "downloading on Windows". When downloading things with a phone over WiFi, do you get full speeds?

the torrent in question has a lot of seeds so I can't understand it, regarding the smartphone I don't give much weight because I don't download much from it

Alright, so maybe there's something between your torrent client and your ISP like @Athlonite mentioned.

While it's not something crucial, if you for whatever reason get higher speeds over wifi on a phone (or laptop, for that matter) compared to ethernet on your PC, it'd say there's indeed something wrong with either your PC itself (network card, drivers or OS) or the cable you're using.

So, while FAST measured 14 Mbps, what's the speed your contract is rated for?

Ok, here we go.
1. How fast is your connection? What download speed are you expecting?
2. Wired or wireless connection? If wireless, a million things can affect your speed, including your proximity to the router.
3. Try pinging (ping -t www.google.com) some external sites, that will tell you if the connection is good or bad (dropped packets).
4. If the connection is good, the source may not be fast enough. Try several downloads in parallel (not torrents, plain http), see if, combined, you can reach your theoretical speeds.

As hinted above, be mindful of the difference between b (bits) and B (bytes). Transfer speeds typically use a multiple of bit. But, while one byte is 8 bits long, the actual translation is more like 1:10, because there is some protocol overhead when transmitting data. I.e. on a Gigabit connection (1Gbps) you get 100MB/s transfer speed. That's how you set an upper limit for your expectations.

Looks about right? Fast is measuring in megaBITS/sec, downloads are shown in MEGABYTES/sec

@poisondrama
many times it might also be from win settings.
try the tcp optimizer.
run as admin, make sure to go to preferences, and set ping to 100ms, then select your max possible line speed with the slider, and mark "optimal" on the bottom.
reboot and check.

Within uTorrent click Alt+O that will bring up the options menu in my previous posts pic from there just find the Bittorrent setting and select require encryption and click apply

Although you really should dump uTorrent as it's not really that good anymore and pick something a little more uptodate like qBittorrent instead

1Mb is 0.125MB
