nlitement Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 If you live outside the US then I wouldn't recommend that test. Just look for some big-ass elite host's extra sh*t directories for speed tests (that's what all elite hosts do, they provide you with some DSL package and then without knowing you can acces extra sh*t of ftps irc etc. on the host) like xs4all etc. It's hard to explain. But for example my host Elisa, has this server kolumbus.fi and the customers can go to ftp. irc. etc.etc. to access extra goodie sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sate Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Actually I can beat your download speed 8.06 mb/s Don't mind the 'LOL' it's and old screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo. Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Well I did that bandwidth speed test sirs. And remeber, Im not landline connected, wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colotomy Headwind Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) If nobody has bothered to say this about the first screenshot, I'd like to clear something up (seeing as this has turned into an 'lol i download faster than you' topic). It's obviously an incorrect reading. Shareaza and Kazaa and countless other P2P programs will display "Kb/sec", giving you the impression it's "kilobits" rather than "kilobytes", but I can assure you they're going by KB/sec rather than Kb/sec. I've reached such download speeds on Kazaa and even tricked some online download speed tests by having the contents of the file still in my cache or sitting in the temporary download folder of said P2P program. Edit: Lobo, mind editing the first picture? It's rather wide. Edited July 20, 2005 by Colotomy Headwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the topic title "Can you beat this dl speed?" kinda implies a "I download faster than you thread"... And erhm no it's 5mb/s he is downloading with right there.

Colotomy Headwind Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 And erhm no it's 5mb/s he is downloading with right there. I can tell you didn't bother reading (or just didn't comprehend) my post. If you're arguing that he's downloading at 5MB/sec, you're wrong. Reasons listed above. If you're arguing that the Mb/sec in the screenshot means "megabits", you're also wrong. Programs that use Kb/sec or Mb/sec often mean "bytes", not "bits". It's just something that happens, and since people don't often measure data by bits (there's no real reason to, it's just a bigger number), there's usually no confusion.

I don't think I am Anyway, in my screenshot I'm right it is 8 megabits. Reason listed, right here: Because it's during a LAN party were my friends and I were transferring files with a P2P program, just over LAN.

Wing Attack Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 932.8 kilobits per second Communications 932.8 kilobits per second Storage 113.9 kilobytes per second 1MB file download 9 seconds Subjective rating Good Cool. You're lying, Opius. GrabIt didn't even work last time I tried, and I'm with TPG. How much do you pay for 1500kb/s?

Also, if it was a LAN, it would travel much faster than 8mb/sec (even though that screenshot says 8MB/sec, and I know for a fact DC++ uses bytes), depending on how many computers you had hooked up, of course. Even then, Daggdave's point stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightmare Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 crystal clear that still means i win the upload contest right? nice speeds guys. opius what isp do you have? I get upload speeds up to 400kb/s on torrents, as I've proved in #sysnode from time to time. I'll get a screenie next time.

Even then, Daggdave's point stands. OMG, you just don't give up. It only did 256 kilobytes because I was downloading a whole album of music from the other pc. So I just took a screenshot while it was doing it and randomly the screenshot was taken while it made 256 kilobytes of one song. And NO, it could not transfer any faster than 8 mb over those two LAN PC's. And I know that for a fact because I tryed doing it with a (legal) movie and it took about 2 minutes to transfer, and during those 2 minutes of transfering 700mb it only went to 8mb/s. That is a f*cking fact believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
