i checked with 2-3 well seeded torrents and i was getting 25 mbps ( 2.8mb/sec ) in these torrents :/ if its supposed to be 20+20= 40 mbps in torrents then i think im having some issues . i think ill wait for philip to see and comment on this
Torrents are Peer to Peer technology, so when you are downloading something popular that is locally available in Excitel Network you get 20 Mbps Peering speed, but also you will download from External peers with 20 Mbps more, as you also have 20 Mbps Internet Speed.
This way Speeds are combined and you can get total 40 Mbps speed on single torrent. Sometimes the Bittorrent Client software (utorrent) is smart and if it detects FAST Local Peers (in Peering) then it doesn't utilize the Internet Speed and only downloads from Peering as it might only need 2-3 Local Peers to get the Max speed, whereas from External Peers it might need to connect 20-30 to get max speed.

When could we get Exitel here ? It's available in opposite side of my Colony not this side ?
so what can i do to make sure that i get full 20 ( from internal peering ) + 20 ( from external seeds ) ? i have tried it a lot of times . downloaded well seeded top search list torrents. my speeds just hover b/w 20-25 mbps. it never goes beyond that.
Have you considered that the problem can be in wireless router? Have you tried on Cable directly?
There are many Wifi Routers that are having hard time to deliver more than 20-25 Mbps speeds, especially on torrents and especially when not sitting next to them, so let's first clear this possible issue.

one thing you can try is connecting the cable directly to pc and logging in manually using pppoe dialer that ships with computer. that is probably the best way to test speeds. though i doubt you are going to get lucky by finding peers both local and outside as torrent client would stick to local ips and ignore outstation ips while downloading.
