Download And Upload Speed Question?

basically, your connection has the potential to reach 9.57.

However unfortunately you are not the only person visiting the site from which you are downloading. So their upload speed is stretched only allowing them to upload to you at that speed.

download speed usually is always faster than upload speed? Physical restraints that can slow you down:

1. A Cluttered Registry

2. Too Many Start-Up Programs

3. Full Hard Drive

4. Not Enough Memory

5. Spyware and Malicious Programs

The speed you're measuring is your speed to the server that the speed test is running on (close to you, if you choose the right one). If you download from a mirror close to you, you can get multi-megabyte/s downloads, but most of the time - just because there are more servers not near you than there are servers near you - you'll be downloading from servers far from you (unless you choose the right mirror), so the download will be slower. If you download a file from your provider you'll probably get your full speed (but that's on the ethernet connection on your provider's LAN, not from a server on the internet)..

i'm not a computer expert, but i would think it partially depends on the speed of the server that you're obtaining your download from. your up/download speeds may be the maximum you can transfer info but if where you are getting your information from has slower connections, you're limited to that speed.

because who ever you are downloading from has to serve it to you at that speed. If they have a slower connection then it can only go that fast.
