*In before butt hurt people quoting rule about not talking about torrents, I'm talking about Torrent applications themselves and as a matter of fact any application that uses the internet to download* On my router settings, my router shows the download limit at 6372 kbps with my upload only around 1000kbps, also when I do the http://speedtest.net/ test I get about 6.3 Mbps which sounds about right, but whenever I torrent or even download via lets say Google chrome the maximum speed in TOTAL I can download at is 600-700 kbps. Example, lets say I have 4 torrents downloading they will all run at different speeds but will all amount to about 700 kbps. If I download something via my browser it will show the download working at 700 kbps and less but again adding to the total of 700 kbps if multiple downloads are involved. Why does my router and speedtest.net indicate a 6.3 Mbps download speed but at maximum pushing it I can only hit 700 kbps (and thats when no other family member is connecte

Don't mean to be that guy but you got that backwards: 6Mbps = 768KBps, but 6MBps = 48Mbps = 49152 Kbps.
