For a small file, I once reigstered 400 kbs, but it was some software download.


For a big file, I registered a 286kbs one throughout the file's downloading period, and that was for a 800MB file.


Usually, it's 10-100 kbs.

A downloaded a movie off Kazaa at 600kps more then once., back in the day

Wow, when was that? I've neevr seen Kazaa come even close to that speed. Max 50. I don't use Kazaa no more.

the biggest one was 120Kps

but i usually get 5-35kbs :x

I don't really download from a server so if I find a file on some other forum it takes about 150kb for 1 file at a time. A long time ago when I used to download movies off Kazaa/Shareaza it would be like 300kb.

Usually anywhere from 50-160.

Where do you guys download your stuff from, lol?

Does anyone make use of the Suprnova mirror? I know the actual site is down, but there is an identical counterpart left.


Most files are not worth the download (and are slowwwwwww). Plus, some films I would never even consider downloading, like Spidey 2 or Incredibles. Gotta support my homies :wink:

3 years ago, I got FOTR that way, it was really fast and really high quality.

I get crazy speeds at work, to the tune of 5Mb/s (600KB/s).

5MB? Wow, that is crazy.

what kind of connection do you have at work?

ADSL

Just kidding. I have no idea; we're a computer services company, and I'm at the headquarters, so it's only natural that we'd have a fat pipe.

my fastest was around 175kbs sometime in '03. lol i think the file size was 250mb.

my average nowdays is around 30kbs GOD I HATE IT! :x

You know what's odd?

I just went through various sites to check my speed, and in each case it's different.


I just got one where it said my connection speed is 2MB, whereas only a few minutes ago, another said 314kbs.

Inbetween, I had a file downloading which I just deleted.

How does this stuff work????


Edit: some other tests showed the speed at 957kbs and 1.8MB. This is so odd, I'd never expected it to be that fast

Care to share the link with a brotha? Please

No problem:

It's 100% the same thing, except it looks different.


But don't download The Incredibles or Spidey 2

SWEET! 8) thx Box

i'm currently dl Southpark 813 - Cartman\'s Incredible Gift a 36mb file and it's dl between 70-90kbs atm.
btw i'm using Shareaza program.

Ok, so can someone explain to me why I can never get beyond an avg. of 10-50 kbs downloads, even though connection speed apparently is around 1.5MB/sec.?

I don't get how this works. I'm dumb. I try to download a file, but it seems like 115 kb :?

i would like to know the explaintion to that also.
lol where are all the pc techs at? :wink:

My fastest would have to be... 1gb/sec

That's right, I said it!

It was the LONGEST second of my life

The reason you guys are seeing slower speeds than you're supposed is probably because of where you download (bittorrent/kazaa are only as fast as the connections people you're downloading from have). Another possible reason is that your computer might be infested with spyware that clogs up all of your bandwidth. Use Spybot to clean out your machine.

Ooo, thanks for the link. I'm downloading Closer now. (Don't worry, I've seen the movie already I'll buy the DVD when it comes out)

At home: ~220kB/s

At my school: ~3-5MB/s (the lowest I've ever head was about 600kB/s)

Ahh, what a big man you are, let me buy you a pack of gum and show how to chew it!

:wink:
