The reason behind fast youtube videos is that most of the ISP now a days have connectivity to google’s network because of which when a user uses any google application he does not consumes the internet bandwidth instead goes on directly to google’s network i.e. google peering.

  • & Behind fast torrent downloads, the service provider has torrent caching server because of which a user again does not uses the internet bandwidth but uses the btcache server that is the caching server installed in the network which caches the data over a period of time.

The ISP use cache i.e. keep a copy of frequently used files on their own servers and provide the ISP users with these files. This gives the ISP users high speed when downloading the files. This also helps the ISP providers by reducing the bandwidth usage in downloading same files.

ISP use software like PeerGet p2p/Torrent Cache Server it can cache torrent traffic and seed the cached content to the local clients… this save a huge international bandwidth and cost.

Packets speed flow is capped by ISP and hence there’s no “easy trick” to make connection fast.
