I'll sound retarded for asking this, but what's the difference between a "bit" and a "byte"? I'm relatively good with computers, but not good enough to actually know about the complicated portions of computers itself.

My fastest speeds I got in shareaza are 27.70 megaBYTES (MB) with 50 sources.
Shareaza is a good alternative for rare files that u can barly find in website, but unfortunately it all depends on the ed2k sucking servers that u connect to and your credit shit, due to uploading to the same server everytime. I only connect to the same one fast server everytime that has alot of sources (I tried most of them I came to the conclu. that servers starting with 207.XX.XX.XX are faster than others and have more sources, but NOT all of them of cources, I suggest you try them).
Most of the downloads are like 1 KB killing me till they finish or stay PENDING.
Actually, it's not too uncommon to see networking and internet connections speeds in megabits.Quote:

Right - 3 MegaBITS. Don't see many people talking about MegaBITS.
Like a 10/100/1000 mbps LAN card, a 1.5 mbps cablemodem, or 10 mbps fiber line.
