The Screen Shot Says It All

[God Hack]

Here's a screen shot of me downloading on shareaza.

http://zerosnider.250free.com/shareazaSpeed1.jpg

This is actually a bad day for me downloading on this thing XD I get higher speeds than this..

I once was getting a download speed of 3000+ kb/s on this no joke...I think it was a Max Payne 2 ISO that I was downloading...

[abu_has_the_power]

holy shit! wat connection do u have?

[Mik3ll]

Showoff <_<

[God Hack]

holy shit&#33; wat connection do u have?
just a normal cable connection..2mb down, 512kb/s up or something like that up..I wish I had taken a screen shot of the 3000 sumthin kb/s to show u guys :(.

Ill go and dl the max payne iso again and see if I get that speed again...now I just gotta remember where I got that hash link..=&#092;


Showoff <_<
Im tryin to show how fast shareaza is not show off.. :)

[4play]

I have had problems with edonkey, shareza and the like. when they try to hash my shared folder it takes forever. i once left it on overnight and it still had not finished.

still thats what you get for sharing gigs of stuff. :(

[muchspl2]

change it to KBs :rolleyes:



shad0ws and clients built on his core(torrent storm/abc) or the best/fastest test it your self

[Tetsujn]

wtf is this dude?? damn. is that a skin or some shit?

[muchspl2]

its just another client, but he fell for the n00b trick, it comes default in kb&#39;s not KB&#39;s
big difference

[God Hack]

No man its all speed, you could go see for yourself if you don&#39;t belive me B)

I didn&#39;t fall for the trick its Kb/s just like kazaa I changed it in my settings look closley dude. I know the differences in bits, bytes and kilobytes :angry:

....lol@4play click hash faster.. :ph34r:

[muchspl2]

1 Kilobyte (KB) = 8 Kilobits (Kb)

edit: still not as fast as shadows but thats for you to find out yourself

Either your ISP lets you exceed the normal 2 mbps download limits occassionally or you were just seeing a statistical anomaly. If you see 3,000 kilobits/sec download speeds, then it&#39;s because your ISP is LETTING you download that fast and you actually have BETTER than a 2 mbps cable connection.

Don&#39;t bother downloading the max payne iso again -- save someone else a LOT of bandwidth.

Get something else you want instead. :P

[abu_has_the_power]

well, from his shared, u can this dude is certainly sharing. good job. but that speed is crazy. do u uncap ur modem? wat isp do u have?

The point being made here is you must divide all the numbers in the screenshot by 8 in order to figure what the actual KB/s is. These speeds are actually decent for Shareaza but don&#39;t be folled by the kb/s thinking their amazing...

[God Hack]

lol not I dont uncap my modem abu..my ISP is coralwave.

[Jibbler]

muchSpl has a decent download too.. 324KB aint bad either.. my upload is around 45K, which my ftp takes most of. :)

:P Well since we are all showing off here.I want to show what Jetje did one time on SS.Why don&#39;t you add them 2 Speeds together. :P

[abu_has_the_power]

how da hell do u people get all this bandwidth? i&#39;m guessing no one here is running on regular cable

[Jibbler]

I&#39;m on cable :huh:

[Cotton]

Hey how do u get the uploads to apear below the downloads, with shareaza.

[RealitY]

So is this now a whos got the Biggest...

http://server4.uploadit.org/files2/071203-GrabIt.jpg

EDIT: BTW That Would Be Over 4000kb/s.

[james_bond_rulez]

i wanna slap y&#39;all speedy biatches with my rj45 cables.... :lol:

[Jibbler]

Looks like you win Reality. I opened up my grabit, and my connection maxes out at about 360KB/sec :huh:

[james_bond_rulez]

mine maxed out at 150kB/s :huh:

Yes but just think in kb/s that would be 1200kb/s...

WHOOPEEEE.
:P :P

I used to have that problem aswell, and I was told that if you go to the menu at the top and select Power Mode, the uploads will appear underneath the downloads. :)

if you were going 1000 Kb/s then why does it still say 18 min remaining for a 174 mb file? I can get that file with 300 kb/s sec in less than 18 min. Unless I&#39;m mistaken somewhere here.

[stupendo44]

yes, you are mistaken. 1022 Kb or Kilobits/sec divided by 8 is 127 KB/Kilobytes per second. At the speed of 127 Kilobytes/sec in 18 minutes (1080 seconds) you can download 137,160 KB/Kilobytes (1,097,280 Kb/Kilobits, 134 MB).

To clarify:

Kb = Kilobits
KB = Kilobytes
1 KB = 8 Kb
1 Kb = 0.125 KB
80 Kb/s = 10 KB/s
80 KB/s = 640 Kb/s
Typical dial-up speed = 53 Kb/s = 6.6 KB/s
Typical fast dsl speed = 1500 Kb/s = 187 KB/s

Mb = Megabit
MB = Megabyte
2 Mb = 0.25 MB = 2000 Kb = 250 KB

Happy now?

[wienerschnitzel]

I got the same episode of naruto using shadow&#39;s client execpt mine was going at 2720 Kb/s (340 KB/s. It takes me just over 10 minutes to get the ep. Also when i use irc i get about the same speeds (with the right bot).

Also based on what you said it seems as if we have almost the same cable connection.

intresting

(if your trying to show off do it on a T3 line or forge the pictures)

oh well either he learns or he doesn&#39;t, who really cares whos right or wrong, just as long as he understands he was wrong :P

u think shadows is better, i&#39;m guessing u mean BT shadows clients right?

correct or anything built on shad0w&#39;s core like torrent storm or ABC to name a few

No, because it paints a false picture.

If your ISP says you have a 512k connection (be it ADSL or cable), and 512 kilobits/sec is the fastest TOTAL download bandwidth it can sustain then without compression (which is seldom used with broadband connections) it will not be able to download even at 60 KB/sec sustained because tcp/ip packet overheads will reduce EFFECTIVE download speeds below 60 KB/sec.

A dial-up 56k modem is unlikely to be able to download even at 5.5 KB/sec for the same reason. It typically uses smaller MTU packet sizes, so the TCP/ip packet overheads are even greater per KB of files sent/received.

A 1.5 mbps connection (1,500 Kb/s) will probably only get about 140-160 KB/sec download speeds for the same reason.

But on the UPLOAD side, it is even worse&#33;
If you&#39;re downloading at 100 KB/sec, about 3 KB/sec of upload bandwidth is used to communicate with the uploader to keep the upload going at that speed. This isn&#39;t good if you only have 128 kb/s (16 KB/sec) theoretical max upload bandwidth and wish to share/upload files yourself&#33; So you&#39;ll end up uploading only about 8-12 KB/sec max while downloading at 100 KB/sec. If most broadband users try to do that, where are they going to get fast downloads from? There wouldn&#39;t even NEED to be a single true leech because for every ONE 100+ KB/sec downloader there&#39;d be 5-20 broadband users that have downloads <5 KB/sec and would think the network sucks ass.

[stupendo44]

When I had dial-up, I typically got a maximum of 6 KB/s, and sometimes it would go up to 6.5 KB/s.

My post wasn&#39;t to describe how the advertised speeds are not actual, it was to describe the difference between bits and bytes. So my post isn&#39;t misleading at all, although I admit the last part could be taken that way. Typical fast dsl speed is advertised at 1.5 Megabits per second. I&#39;m not saying that people will be able to download at that speed, just that it&#39;s not the same as 1.5 MegaBytes per second.

:smoke: Yeah thats some pretty big numbers&#33;&#33; Great job&#33;&#33;

Correct me if I&#39;m wrong though, but I think kb/s and KB/Sare two totally different values...

Right, and I am adding to that information to show even IF the numbers are correct... you cannot expect 100% yield.

With dial-up having compression enabled by default, many things you download are compressed and the transfer speed is the plus-compression speed rather than how fast each compressed block is entering/leaving your computer. It actually makes for a neat way to spot fake files on KL++ because fakes usually get >10 KB/sec download speeds due to being highly compressable empty files...

[katchan13]

Ah reminds me of my first broadband provider (austarnet - australia), b4 they canned it, a couple of times i had 6meg a sec downloads going, was unlimited download K&#39;s and max theoretical of 18Mb/sec most i ever heard was 10Mb/sec, but it had a huge downside, only had 56k dialup upload (it was tranmission based cable download), i could get huge download speeds off yahoo (warez) etc and occasionally p2p etc with 2-4 downloads concurrent but any more than that the upload couldnt communicate fast enough and strangled the download

katchan

[NotoriousBIC]

Oh dear is this a contest or something?

http://orw37.oli.tudelft.nl/Bic/Bittorrent.jpg

:-"

BTW there was / is(?) a way to fake even higher scores with Bittorrent.
Just download a torrent completely, then start the exact same torrent in another window and d/l it to another location. In effect you&#39;ll start downloading from yourself. It can go up into the 4000 kB/s range.

This picture however is from an actual &#39;normal&#39; download. It&#39;s from Wolfestein: Enemy Territory which ID Software released using bittorrent (the first &#39;commercial&#39; use of the protocol) and they obviously used some hefty servers for that.

Edit: And a screenshot from mIRC to complement the BT one

I&#39;m on a 512k package and on Bit Torrent my downloads are sustanied at around 65KB/sec ... you have to account for other factors as well on an ADSL line, such as line quality, noise and distance from the exchange. My lines are all new, so they&#39;re top quality, and my exchange in 200 yeards away. Thus I can easily sustain over 60KB/sec on 512.

Then you don&#39;t really have a 512k line, but rather something at least a litle faster.

65 KB/sec = (65 KB/sec * 8 bits/byte) = 520 kilobits/sec which is GREATER than 512 kilobits/sec that your line is supposedly rated for.
(Note: I did NOT try to figure the tcp overheads into my calculation, which might well push that value higher.)

However, your ISP may be reporting sustained rather than max speeds -- 512k may only apply during the heaviest-load hours.

[The Reverand]

Hmmm, good point, it should be impossible to get 65KB on a 512 connection... maybe it&#39;s just a little faster like you said.
