    Hello!

    I was wondering if anyone could offer any kind of explanation regarding the following:

    I have an internet connection of 6/1 mbit (that is roughly 700kB/s download and 100 kB/s upload). I am using 2 computers with utorrent - and when using simultaneously my upload and download jump to 2 MB/s and 1.5 MB/s. One computer is connected to a router via LAN cable, other is wireless.

    The funny thing is, when i stop using one of the computers the download and upload values drop to normal (700kB/s and 100kB/s).

    What the heck is this???

    Regards,

    K

    Nice one, thank you!It makes sense now - i seeded the same file on first computer which was also downloading on the other computer, thus taking the packets form the completed file, since on the same network!

    Thanks! :)
