I think my biggest download would have to be the entire Slayer discography, at about 1.03 GB. I don't remember how long it took. | |||

Meh, I recently... downloaded two movies over internet. Only limit was the other people using it.
Meh, I had a silly reason for downloading a certain movie... |

How much could I do in one day, realistically speaking... I can download at around 200KB/s when the connection's stable. So in a minute, I can download roughly 12MB. 12 * 60 = 720MB in an hour if everything holds up.
So of course, if I wanted to I could probably do 9-10GB in a day. My ISP might hate me after a few days of that though. |

Yeah, but that's a pretty fast university connection, no?
My connection used to be like crap but I think they added more boxes around my area on telephone lines and the like... now it's stable + faster, which I'm not going to complain about. |

Eh. My download speed is around 157 KB/s, thought it often fades to 100 KB/s on big downloads
It's still way better than my old 56k, though. And it's the best offered in my area. So... (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 01-09-06 06:01 PM) |

Back when I used to have dial-up last year, just about all my downloads were 30 KB/s. Now that I have broadband, now it's 300 or something KB/s. Of course, I didn't mind if my downloads took a long time back then because I just find something better to do while I wait for my download. | |||

A 56k modem is incapable of getting above 7K/second (56kilobits) (and it will never hit 7K/s) | |||

Best I ever got with my 56k was around 4.5 to 5K/s. I happened to have a pretty good connection back then but there's no way you can get above that.
I thought it was great that NES roms were downloading in around 1-2 minutes. XD |

So Zem, explain how that thing many companies are touting that quintuples the speed of standard dialup then. I'm curious and, amazingly, wikipedia says nothing. | |||

Originally posted by Alastor the Stylish If you were to add "works" after "dialup" then one could understand your sentence on the first read I guess you are talking about those web accelerator things right? I dunno, I never used one. Maybe you were looking in the wrong place because wikipedia says plenty though. Most of the acceleration probably comes from prefetching links while you're idling and compressing incoming data through proxy. |

Eh. At times when I was using 56k, I saw download speeds increase eightfold, to 24 KB/s from 3, and that wouldn't fit with that... | |||
Cynthia Uh-huh. Since: 11-17-05 From: LaSalle, Quebec, Canada Last post: 6431 days Last view: 6431 days |

I could see the speed starting high at the beginning of a download and then going down from there since what was displayed was the result of an inaccurate calculation.
I have downloads start at 1200K/s sometimes but they ALWAYS go down to what they're supposed to me. My connection was never that fast; that's what the program in question calculated it as. |

Alastor Fearless Moderator Hero Since: 11-17-05 From: An apartment by DigiPen, Redmond, Washington Last post: 6431 days Last view: 6431 days |

No, I mean, it stayed that way for entire downloads quite a lot of the time. And yeah, it was actually transferring that fast. | |||

Originally posted by Zem Max I ever saw was around 6K. So yeah. Alastor, that's called compression. With Some dial-up connections the download is compressed between the dial-up and your ISP. |

Originally posted by Alastor the Stylish I only saw download speeds like that in the first few seconds of my downloads. Then it dropped to 4-5K/s. Too bad. And how the hell was a 56k modem able to download that fast? |
