(08:07:09)	Erik: Hi, I'm considering getting a subs but I'd like to know about Nord's torrenting features, like is there a download speed limit?
(08:07:14)	Customer Care: Welcome to our live chat! We are here to help you and we’ll join the chat with you ASAP.
(08:07:19)	*** Parker joined the chat ***
(08:07:22)	Parker: Hello, Erik.
(08:08:02)	Erik: Hi
(08:08:14)	Parker: NordVPN does not apply any speed or bandwidth limits to its users. However, please note that usually you will receive a little bit lower speeds with VPN comparing to the speeds without VPN. Moreover, connection speed depends on a number of different factors, like server distance, server load, your original internet speed, VPN protocol you are using, etc. You can expect around a 30% speed dropdown when connected to the closest server through OpenVPN UDP.
(08:08:43)	Erik: Ok, so theres no download limit
(08:09:11)	Parker: Yes, no limits.
(08:10:28)	Erik: How about upload limits? I'm worried because a friend of mine contacted support by email and they told her that "to prevent illegal activities we are heavily limiting the upload speed. Technically you can still share the flies, but you should not expect the upload speed higher than 100Kb/s."
(08:11:19)	Parker: We do not recommend to share files with VPN and sharing speed can be slow.
(08:11:49)	Erik: So there's no bandwith limiting for downloading but there is for uploading?
(08:14:19)	Parker: Torrent file sharing is in general illegal activity, so we do not recommend to do that, this might slow down the speed.
(08:16:14)	Erik: But if I want to share torrent files that are not illegal like you say in https://nordvpn.com/features/great-p2p-opportunity/ I shouldn't get any bandwidth limit
(08:16:30)	Erik: Can you distinguish between them so I don't get limited?
(08:19:10)	Parker: You will be able to download and share the files without limits. But if you will do that, make sure you are using the tools like Kill Switch, this will turn of your network connection if your VPN connection will drop.
(08:20:48)	Erik: Then how is it that sharing files "might slow down the speed", sry I didn't understand that
(08:22:33)	Parker: With VPN you will not get the full speed like your original connection, with VPN it can drop from 30%, because your traffic will go through the encrypted server.
(08:23:28)	Erik: Ok, I have a 600mbps connection. So I should have no problem getting like 50Mbps uploading on torrent files?
(08:23:34)	Parker: If you would like you can test our service with 3-days trial to check how this will work for you: https://free.nordvpn.com/
(08:24:34)	Erik: Ok, I have a 600mbps connection. So I should have no problem getting like 50mbps uploading on torrent files?
(08:25:21)	Parker: We cannot say what connection speed you'd get while using our service, since both speed and connection quality depends on many factors: your internet speed, ISP, distance from servers, your hardware, etc. So you should create a trial account and test it.
(08:26:44)	Erik: Ok, so to clarify; there's no 100kb max speed/uploading limit like they said to her, right?
(08:27:08)	Parker: Yes.
(08:27:37)	Erik: No limit at all?
(08:28:31)	Parker: NordVPN does not apply any speed or bandwidth limits to its users.
(08:29:03)	Erik: Ok, thank you for your patience.
(08:29:07)	Erik: Have a nice day
(08:29:12)	Parker: Thanks, you too!
