How big is it? Cable dont download at 2000kbytes/s.. :huh:
30 min movie, and about 100 megs
Well, since Knology is available to me, maybe I should reconsider it. :) Do YOU have any files I want??? :)
Are you on a local network? Were you sharing that file yourself before you downloaded it?
Nobody1234 has a valid point, I would bet on you having two of the same file ;) Unless its possible of having speed that high on cable, which I never have heard of either :huh:
wat ever connection he got, i want it :D :P
There's almost certainly a misprint/miscalculation somewhere in this report of superfast download rates...
The poster said 2,000kbps -- which if he meant 2,000 kilobits/sec is quite possible with some cablemodem connections, although mine maxes out around 1,600-1,900kilobits/sec.
But 2,000 kilobits/sec is only about 250 KB/sec -- and 5 seconds of that is about 1 MB. (not 100 MB, just 1...)
However, if the poster saw 2,000 Kb/s inside Kazaa Lite++ -- then I am a little skeptical, because that's 2,000 KiloBytes/sec (about 2 MB/sec or 16 Mbps). That would almost certainly HAVE to come from someone on the same cable node of the same ISP -- and even still that's unlikely...
Some Cablemodems, if uncapped, are capable of speeds as high as 30 Mbps -- but they usually are connected to the computer through a USB v1.1 (11 Mbps max) or 10 Mbps ethernet LAN connector. 16 Mbps (2,000 Kb/s) is considerably faster than such connectors can handle.
Even *IF* the reported speeds are accurate, the filesize is impossible -- because 5 seconds at 2,000 KiloBytes/sec is only about 10 MB.
i just read in the paper today.. the fastest internet speed record
WOW! :oQuote:
we were able to send 4 dvd's worth of data 7,000 miles in under 1min
so your looking at 40-60gb's a minute (my whole hard drive in 1 min!! :o
In any case if he did get that kind of speed, the only way is if it was local. Not though his cable.
I doubt you could even get that on a local network, i know i dont on my uni network, the fastest ive ever got on my local is 789kb/s.
