Re: Beginner's Guide to Testing and Improving Connection Speeds

It's not about downloading files (how do you think the speedtests work) it's about where you download the files from. The VM games server is on a direct link to your connection and not via a 3rd party routing. By using that server you are testing your connection to VM using multiple connections, where as using speedtest sites you are not only testing your connection to VM but also the route to the speedtest server and the capability of the server itself over a single connection.
