Anyhoo there's a simple conversion calculator you can use to identify what you may be getting for what your paying for:

And here would be my Kb\KB or kb\KB: 15Mbps\2Mbps (15,000,000\2,000,000) = 1831.05MB\244.14MB

Somehow I don't think 15Mbps = 1831.05 MBps :P :P

Oh that's an oversight on Quantums part. I did not type 15Mbps = 1831.05MBps; here's what I did type - "15Mbps\2Mbps (15,000,000\2,000,000) = 1831.05MB\244.14MB" although I should have stated bits back there in parenthesis :P

:( it still doesn't seem to make any kind of sense, there's no way that 15'000'000 bits = 1831.05MBs

Oh your right Quantum...those miniscule typos that I am so infamous for: that should be 15'000'000 = 1831.05kBs or 1.83 MB/sec, my bad.

The left side is right, 15M is 15 million, but the right side is wrong. I'm not sure what you're using for your calculation but it's probably something simple that you're missing.

Ya, as simple as kB/s not MB/s, again my bad.

Quantum:
:D I'm 10x worse, I always have to read my posts through at least twice before I go to the next thread and then I often still have typos or mistakes in them.
Synbios:
I usually edit my posts 2-3 times after I post them :p
ZootCadillac:
I'm currently with Virginmedia ( ex NTL ) in the UK and have a 20Mb/768Kb cable connection ( the sooner they dig up all this useless copper the better ).
Download speeds as most will know vary greatly. At the moment I'm being traffic shaped due to my high usage ( a practice that Virgin sneaked in without too much af a public fanfare ) and find my speed suffers a lot.
But I have hit near my theoretical max when downloading from newsgroups. I can often get speeds between 1500 and 1800 kB/s.
I think what the original poster was interested in was what kind of speeds are people downloading with a bit torrent client. That's always hard to say because I can only download as fast as the data is pushed to me. I rarely hit above 900kB/s with a torrent client.
