    I have a 12mb connection and im getting full speed.

    On Jdownloader i can get a download rate of 1.25mbps
    However if downloading through utorrent or from any regular website, through firefox, i only get between 1mbps and 1.05mbps.

    Why is it that Jdownloader can get a better speed but my internet browser and utorrent cannot get full speed. I seem to be missing out on nearly 2mb's (256kbps)

    You've got to remember that when using P2P you can only download at the same (cumulative) speed that your peers can upload to you!

    If you're using utorrent make sure that your upoad speed is set 30% lower than your maximum speed!

    Its Firefox and utorrent that is slow. My download manager is faster.
