Many users visit [the Ubuntu torrent page](https://torrent.ubuntu.com), scan down the page for the line with the most seeders and downloaders, and join the swarm for a few minutes to see what speeds they will reach. More generally, you can also measure your bandwidth at [speedtest.net](https://www.speedtest.net/). However, this is not as good a BitTorrent benchmark as the previous approach.
