Java 1.8.0_202 (64 bit) Oracle Corporation c:\program files\biglybt\jre

Is there a way of telling if the network is being fully utilised, and how much bandwidth is being spent not on actually downloading but on making connections etc.? Sometimes I see low download speeds and I don't know if it's due to the seeders not being able to send the data fast enough, or if it's a problem on my end.

BiglyBT doesn't know enough about the network - you'd need some other tool to figure something like that out (don't ask me what, I don't know, but for TCP for example it would need to be able to show details about window sizes and packet loss)
