makes no matter. depends if they are actively passing info upstream or taking info downstream during the test, the test may last a few seconds but the figures are the highest achieved forcing info, they dont give an average speed just a peak speed achieved.

BT speedtester is accurate over a 30 second period. But you have to be on a bt line which you wont be in RoI

Also depends if you have opened ports for those programs as well.

I know what frostwire and utorrents are.

Have you forwarded ports for them?

You will see a change in speeds again if you do.

Your welcome, the other thing to try after doing one test is to try a different server and see if speed alters radically.

If you want a more accurate speed use your own ISP's speedtester. Most have them in the members areas.
