Thank god for the newservers, I never watched 24 before, in the past month I watched 4 seasons of it, its the best show ever!!
 
lol. Pitty playboy mansion girls next door has ended... quite enjoy that. :)
 
You obviously arent on 4mb... Pulled down Vista RC2 - 2.5gb in 1h 38mins. 4mb for the win.
Back on topic : Another thing i noticed is that content not on the local news server seems to download at full speed whereas local cached content is throttled sh1tless which leeds me to believe that local news traffic is being shaped and international>IS>local isnt affected until its cached locally. Any1else notice this?

How can you tell what's cached and what's not?

Its possible then - who knows how they do things at IS - apart from ineffectively that is. ;)

Tried it, still only maxed out at 40kb/s :(
 
How long is this thread going to last? It is really beginning to irretate me...start a new one. :D
 
Y dont u leave? Run along and stop making the thread longer with senseless posts.
 
Cache / file popularity definitely seems to play a role.

On the newer file I was downloading last night I got up to 380 K/s, but then with an older / less popular one it went back to around 30 - 40 K/s.
 
Im getting 350 at the moment, after i added Heroes to my download list, wow,

NB : Heroes just finished and my speed went back to 40k, spot on dualmeister and bouncer
 
Another thing i noticed is that if you are dlin a rare / uncached file you will be able to download 1gb at fullish speed and then you will be throttled back to +-40kb/s.

Nah. I reckon the quick speeds are only local cached files. That speed burst you are talking about is probably because someone else is struggling along with the same rare file as you and the server has already cached some of the posts.
 
Nah, i think what im thinking is right. We will never know anyways, its always going to be speculation and guess work...
 
i just took a nzb that what 4mins old,pretty sure no1 would have downloaded it as its seriously arb. Max speed, 40kb/s :(
