No, having torrents on doesn't effect the speed on the test. Clicking on the "start test" button does.
Having torrents on does, however, affect the speed of the test. For better results, turn off all uploads and downloads.
Remember, kids, "effect" is causation, "affect" is modification or impact.

It's okay, I know you're not a native English speaker. But I just waded through an entire post (on a different forum) where the OP used "it's" instead of "its" and "they're" instead of "their" in a huge data-dump and analysis.
The analysis was interesting (which is why I read it), but holy fuck that shit irritates the hell out of me.

Ok, Proin-Sensei. (don't mind the 'Sensei' decided to use that when I'm speaking with/about you. ...or should I use Drakenzol-Sensei?? :P pick your choise) If I correctly remember ''it's'' is shortened word from ''it is'' and ''They're'' is shortened word of ''They are'' SO, how in hell can people mix them with ''its'' and ''their'' those 2 words mean completly diffrent things + all those are basics of basics.

Proin is fine.
"It's" does indeed mean "it is." The confusion between "it's" and "its" most likely arises due to the apostrophe-s ('s) signifying both possession and being a contraction for "is" when used with a noun. Pronouns have completely different forms (he/his, she/hers, it/its)
So in the sentence "Proin's an awesome guy," the 's is used to mean "is;" whereas in the sentence "Proin's lolicon collection" the 's denotes possession.
Thus there is confusion with "it's" and "its."
"They're" and "their" (and "there")? There's no excuse as they're obviously different words with no other idiosyncrasies present to cause confusion.
