Here's a pic of download speeds I had recently with a torrent:

Can you get that speed on local only bandwith?

 

[wpswart006]

Dude, it's a torrent so it's unlikely to be local.
But to answer your question, local connections are traditionally faster than international connections so yes, I can probably get that on local only if there were enough local seeds.

You see, the OP wanted to use local only bandwidth.
Usenet provides that, torrents not necessarily.

Everybody has.
Just search this forum.

join up on www.diginova.co.za

Yes, but Usenet is not free (for decent content) as most require some form of account. And quite frankly torrents are easier to use and find.

umm... the 6gb I downloaded this month (with NS) disagrees with you...

Here's a pic of download speeds I had recently with a torrent:

4.6 Megabytes a Second - that means you are using a 36mbps line. right.

How fast do torrents go on a 4mbps? will they *consistently* push out 450KB/s each and every time?

 

[Tpex]

You and wp are both right. I was thinking about the likes of Easynews and Giganews. Those types of sites traditionally require paid accounts in order to use them.
I wasn't aware that the SAIX and IS news servers were free.

However, I notice that http://www.newshost.za.net is no longer accepting registrations and http://www.diginova.co.za has been suspended.
Any other local tgz search servers around?

try and find an invite for nzbsa.co.za, don't ask me, because I have used all mine

It's two load-shed 20Mb lines.

lucky bastard!

that's a 175mb episode every 38.8 Seconds :erm:





I hate you

 

[Atheȵa]

Good show.

Kheiron can I email you a NZB of an item taht is in cache on a news server, and then you download it during the day, just to see what kind of performance these local servers deliver?

 

[wpswart006]

What do you want?

Oh, and sorry I don't have any invites for the sites.

btw swart whats inferior about torrents?

@isie was hoping to use local tommorow on episodes guess i cant or will be too slow

try getting a downstorm acount, they donload the torent and you download from them on http, its faster and local (i think) its about R50 a month for 3 gigs space, http://www.downstorm.co.za/

I watched the pilot yesterday, really funny, but main chick was terrible, real white trash.

You mean the unaired pilot? They never went with that one. They got Kaley Cuoco instead of that other girl. I didn't think she was trash... just didn't fit the role very well.

@ Kheiron,
How about posting some speeds?
