I connected my phone to my laptop and turned on USB tethering and removed all my sims from my phone, but it was still showing upload and download values and some torrents were downloading and uploading. How is this possible if I have 0 internet? I mean, my phone wasn’t connected to wifi and my laptop was still getting internet. Somewhat weird I think? What are the possible explanations here?
If there are no possible explanations, can I declare this a miracle and myself GOD!? :)
Torrent software usually shows average data transfer of the last X seconds. Actually, everything that measures data speed is doing that.
It might be that your config has a relatively long average. Nothing to worry about.
Nothing to worry about.
who was worrying 😂 I was having delusions of grandeur.
All kidding aside, thank you for your answer, you most probably are right but there is still a small possibilty that I performed a miracle 😶
I choose to believe in a miracle.
Did you test if your laptop was getting internet?
2KB/s in qbittorrent may just be local broadcast traffic and announces going out, but not actually making it anywhere since there’s no internet.
The speeds on specific torrents are averaged over x seconds but at the bottom right you can see the up / down speeds live (all torrents combined)
If your phone is connected to wifi it may still share that connection over usb.
Or another explanation is that it simply has a really long time it averages download speed over.
Or another explanation is that
so, no chance I am God? :(
lol, jk. It’s not connected to wifi so I guess the second possibility makes more sense.
There’s always a chance. Do you live around a nuclear plant by any chance?
I don’t, but I have made friends with some of the workers there, they bring me shiny new rocks every week. I see this as an absolute win
