In the trackers that use the UNIT3D codebase some of the torrents have a label saying they are high speed. Does someone know the speed required to get the high speed label? is it 100mbps, 500mbps a gigabit?

    The high-speed label means basically nothing in UNIT3D. All it means that one of the peers seeding the torrent is added as a “seedbox” on some users page. (/users/YOU/seedboxes).

    Anyone can add any IP as a seedbox. On average these torrents may have better speeds but it means basically nothing in any concrete case. The “seedbox” peers are just too variable to rely on. The peer count is almost always going to give a more reliable indication of expected speed.
