Zusammenfassung:	The invention discloses a method of monitoring a bittorrent network and measuring download speeds. The speed is calculated by connecting to a client, getting the bitfield and have messages, reconnecting after a predetermined time and getting a new bitfield and have messages. Taking the number of new pieces between both observations multiplied by the piece size and divided by the time between the two observations the download speed is obtained. La invención da a conocer un método para monitorizar una red Bittorrent y medir velocidades de descarga. La velocidad se calcula conectándose a un cliente, obteniendo el campo de bits y mensajes "tengo", reconectándose después de un tiempo predeterminado y obteniendo un nuevo campo de bits y mensajes "tengo". Tomando el número de nuevos fragmentos entre ambas observaciones multiplicado por el tamaño de fragmento y dividido entre el tiempo entre las dos observaciones se obtiene la velocidad de descarga.
