200kbps>? Fact Or Jokes?

[Pitbul]

i have a 3.4 Meg Cable ISP and i downloaded Hitman 2 off Bittorrent at a steady 350KB/s and hit above 400KB/s some of the time. i have gone up to 300 on Kazaa Lite so those speeds are very possible given u have that kind of ISP

Shows how much you lot know, 374KB/s does not mean 374Kbps. There was this time I downloaded 1.2MB/s for like 3 seconds.

Yeah, everyone knows, 378KB/s is 2992kbps. You're on 512kbps download ADSL. I doubt you were getting roughly 4 times as much bandwith as you pay for, even for a short period of time. And there is definitely no way you were downloading at 1.2MB/s (roughly 18 times you the speed you are paying for ) for even only 3 seconds, like someone explained earlier, the speeds displayed, especially at the beginning of a download, or for a small file, cannot be taken as accurate.

Right now lets look at that picture!!! Right I have a 1mb cable from ntl in the UK, for the first 500kbs it ranges from 500 - 300kb/s after that it will settle at your proper speed. What you guys are reporting are your first 10 - 20 seconds where the speed looks as if its going really fast. You can tell your proper speed from downloading a 1mb or above file so Amarjit your modem isnt really cool and its not really fast because you will not stay at that speed longer than 20 seconds

Look in the faqs and the tips section to see how to get the best speeds in kazaa. But 32k is ur max u will not get better than it on Kazaa. Bigdawgs speeds are because of web page compression (Kazaa files cannot be compressed in the same manner) and incorrect reporting of speeds as has been mentioned earlier in this thread.
