Hey,

Im new to the 4 Meg scene... But i was wondering if people with 4 Meg lines could post there maximum speeds on their line (Constant speed). I just want to get an indication of what the general speed is.. Also just think it would be interesting to find out what other people are getting out there..

My Speed:
410KB/s - Constant speed (Off News Servers)

Please post you speeds.

Thanks
Freaksta

Well...when I do Direct downloads I also get about 410KB/s, but recently i started using IDM (Internet Download Manager) and downloads have been clocking 460KB/s :eek:
 
I get 410 usually max as well. Often have to use a donwload manager to get that though. I get the impression that international is actually capped at about 50k and you only see higher speeds when you download something that is already in the SAIX cache server.
 
SAIX cache server? due to contention you will only get 450KB/sec speeds on torrents etc where many many connections are created. Same story for download managers. On a single connection you will be lucky to get anything above 40KB/sec but that is not too bad. I'm talking international here.

Locally, its much easier - less contention. In general you should get anything between 400KB/sec and 450KB/sec for a 4096 service.
 
reached 500KB/s for about 6 seconds with my download accelerator but went down to 470KB/s. But then again I used to live in a good area (Dainfern)

Now I go 420KB/s
 
That 500 is a false 500 however... if you sync at 4096 you CANNOT exceed 465.45kb per second.
 
er, 4096 / 8 = 512KB/sec so your maths is a bit off. But yes, I agree - you will never see anything above 450KB/sec on a constant basis trust me..

Yeah.. 4Meg rocks..

Click to expand...

so you finally got your 4mb :)
 
I've seen it peak to above 424kB/s when downloading using Pan in Linux. However this will fluctuate between say 380kB/s and 480kB/s whereas Grabit will be flat at 424kB/s.
 
Mine is down to +-45k down and 40k up?!

Any ideas?

Your current bandwidth reading is:

433.10kbps

which means you can download at 54.14 KB/sec. from our servers.


:confused:
