just checking...
when i dl "T" nowadays after installing 30 Mbps...single "T" dl speed can reach 1 mb/s, however when dl few "T" the dl speed can reach 2-3 mb/s in total. Does that mean when dl single "T", my speed is capped by unifi ?
Like mentioned previously, Unifi speeds are stated in Megabits per second (i.e. 5/10/30/50/100 Mbps), which is 8 times lesser when converted into Megabytes per second (MBps). In your case, 30 Megabits would be equivalent to a maximum of 3.75 Megabytes, and subjected to the maximum speed to the specific torrent seeds and seeders as well as other concurrent downloads/traffic.
Note the caps on small 'b' denotes bits and big 'B' denotes bytes - your torrent client may be displaying this in bytes instead.
Therefore if it's 3 MB/s (or 3 MBps), it's pretty good since it's downloading at 24 Megabits per second (24 Mbps)

mb= milli bit. That's even slower than dial up
MB= Mega Byte. That's how you suppose to use the unit correctly.
Unifi doesn't cap torrent speed though. It really depends how fast is the seeders internet connection, number of seeders, seeders to leechers ratio.
It's not milibits but megabits & dial-up modems are ALOT slower i.e. 56k since they are listed in kilobits. The slowest Streamyx is 1 Megabits per second (1Mbps / 1000Kbps), whilst the fastest dial-up in Malaysia was 56 Kilobits per second (0.056Mbps / 56Kbps), which was 18 times slower.
Just remember Tera, Giga, Mega, Kilo are used to denote quantity; in layman terms Tera to Trillion, Giga to Billion, Mega to Million and Kilo to Thousand.
Bits is the smallest unit of digital storage and 8 bits make 1 Byte. So either multiply Bytes with 8 to get bits or divide bits with 8 to get Bytes.
Megabit To Megabyte ConverterQUOTE(eehong @ Feb 9 2017, 10:29 PM)
guys, whenever I "T", all my other devices/internet connection gets bogged down, slow as snail, even when the "T" speed are just around 300-500kbps. This happens with YouTube as well, although not as slow as when "T". When I stopped the "T", internet speed goes back to normal.
my ONU is the white color FiberHome, router is TPLINK WR841HP, with repeater TPLINK WA850RE.
any help here?
Is it 500 Kbps (Kilobits) or 500 KBps (Kilobytes)? If it's Kilobits, you're using 0.5 Megabits of your connection, while the latter uses 4 Mbps of your connection.
It would make sense your running on a 5 Mbps connection and the DL was indeed in Kilobytes - I would suggest you enable a throttle on your Torrent's client to use perhaps half your internet connection's bandwidth, since most torrent clients would max out on the speed and limit on the number of seeders by default.

Torrent is not a sensitive word. Don't discuss illegal content here.
Like fruitie said, mentioning the word "torrent" won't get you struck by lightning but just don't discuss the content (the stuff downloaded) here.
Just reiterating on this since many have started using terms like T, which I find amusing.
