ejams Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I have a 4000/400 cable connection and I got 1500kbps on the Limewire download. I didn't know that was possible with my connection :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eBait Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Do you use Firefox? It might give you false speeds at the beginning (or the whole dl) because when you get the "choose save target" or "what do you want to do" download dialog, it already starts downloading, and the speed will be compeensating that... I once got 4MB/s on a 512/256 line... pretty sure that was bugged :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Meh.. Possibly. I use Minefield 3.0a.You really need to switch to uTorrent. :unsure:It might be due to compression levels, etc. But hey, you got the file faster, who cares. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eBait Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Far less. 1MB/s=~120kb/sec. Count it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myidisbb Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Far less. 1MB/s=~120kb/sec. Count it out.i believe it would be 90 KB/s which is 8 times slower. they want $50 for it and of course phone line basic also another $18. im paying right now $27 basic and $35 for the 6MB/splus is phone company website sucks. no information. anyway, im guessing im stuck with the cable company for internet then. $30-40 for 4 MB/s and suppose same cost when they switch to 6 MB/s. right now their 6 MB/s is like $60. that price will then go to the 8 MB/s they are coming out with. i told them bellsouth on base is kililng them on their prices. anyway, anyone have insight cable as their internet provider? if so your opinion of them and their newsgroup service. than kyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
