[[SOLVED]] how fast is the high speed label in UNIT3D?

In the trackers that use the UNIT3D codebase some of the torrents have a label saying they are high speed. Does someone know the speed required to get the high speed label? Is it 100Mbps, 500Mbps a gigabit?
EDIT [[ANSWER]]: I recently found out that it just gives the high speed flag to whenever the torrent is being seeded by a seedbox (regardless of the actual speed). This could be different depending on the tracker of course but I think this is most likely the case for most/all unit3d trackers.
The high-speed label means basically nothing in UNIT3D. All it means that one of the peers seeding the torrent is added as a "seedbox" on some users page. (/users/YOU/seedboxes).
Anyone can add any IP as a seedbox. On average these torrents may have better speeds but it means basically nothing in any concrete case. The "seedbox" peers are just too variable to rely on. The peer count is almost always going to give a more reliable indication of expected speed.
Depends on the tracker I believe. I believe the admins/mods identify an IP as belonging to a seedbox, and anything with that IP seeding gets the high speed label. So, it would be up to the admins/mods.
