    Just insane. How dare MrBeeps offer service like that on a Sunday morning!! How are the competitors supposed to compete with that??!!! I think he should be reported to the competitions board!!!

    Edit: Add steam to the list of download places. It's only been one day of the summer sale and already I need 35GB to download. :P
    Thats an interesting question. Anyone know?

    altech a total beast for all http stuff. when i first moved over even during the day i was getting as much as 150kB/s on nntp. Two weeks ago this had fallen to about 30kB/s - 50kB/s during the day. evenings would move into 250s and into late night move towards 400+.
    Do NOT construe anything I type as advice

    Well if you use leeching sites with file sharing sites like rapid share ,file sonic ,fileserve ,mega upload ect ect ect then it counts as a HTTP download but dont abuse the system too much now. PM me and I'll recommend some "Leeching sites" for you guys who dont use torrents or news groups

    Any idea what isn't going to get me into the top 20%? Kinda hoping for a 50-100gb range (of course the latter being just a guide and not what I'd actually do... hopefully :P)

    That star rating crap is only for the cheap IS accounts. The GOLD accounts don't have star ratings. Just good internet.

    Don't download torrents, rather get a seedbox if you want to use torrents.

    I'm using a Seedbox and had shaping issues with downloading after hours, e-mailed Keoma and the throttling to my Seedbox's IP was lifted.

    I'm getting full speed after hours on a IS based Gold account (ftp/http downloads).

    Out of all the Backbones IS is probably the best after hours, no peering issues and I get full speed on everything steam/youtube/http/ftp and low ping local (sub 15ms).
    What to put here, that's the question.
