No VPN needed on private tracker sites?

Sometimes torrent clients report false speeds. There is also cached data as well that could be included in that figure.

My client occasionally says I'm downloading 7 MB/s even though I had set my download cap to 3 MB/s and my Ethernet monitor reports I'm doing 3.

There is also overhead that further throttles speeds.
I noticed that when I uploaded at max speed, my download speed would suffer. Capping things isn't always a bad idea for residential users.

interesting. i'm still up for that invite, please.

Private trackers are actually more interesting to anti piracy firms as the users are less = easier to track, they upload more to keep up ratio = easier to prove they uploaded, more likely to think they are protected by being on a "private" tracker = no vpn or other pesky obfuscations on the connection making it easier to identify the "uploader"

So at the moment with deluge i'm downloading at 6 MB/s. I checked my wifi and ethernet monitors and they both confirmed that speed as well. So i'm positive that i'm actually downloading at 6 MB/s.

In 10 years of downloading torrents, i've never reached 6 MB/s with utorrent.

So there must be something to that.
