    What was you connection like? I know it can be better in some areas but overall what was your speed like and were torrents a good speed. I don't download a lot but would like to be able to do some.

    I am in a low contention area so its ok - it can vary from 1.5 mb to 9mb (real download speed at 9 mb bandwidth is 800kb per second plus) - this 9 mb is rare and three have very little 4g coverage at the moment so its just 3g here.

    As for using a torrent client - ive had bit torrent report throughput of 1.2 mb per second download speed which is when my connection bandwidth is at 9 mb.

    So at max capacity I can download a 700 mb file in 10 minutes but as I said 3g speeds are very unpredictable at times

    That all depends on where you're located.
