Im trying to get a feel for how fast usenet usually downloads. I know its fast compared to other protocols but I'd like to see some specific numbers.
So maybe give what you get on http downloads and bittorent downloads, and of course your usenet speeds too. Also your dowload bandwidth limit to see it as percent.
thanks.
maxed out........
Oh sweet. How much difference does it make how far you are from the server? say Netherlands to America.
Also when usenet is using almost all of your bandwidth does browsing the net prety much come to a stand still or what? or do you need to limit your news reader on how much bandwidth to use.
try to get a server in your country but it varies, but most providers provide server close to youQuote:

oh, sweet. Ive always had problems with bittorent slowing things down, and not even using close to the full bandwidth.
Also I'm getting an account at hitnews.eu because its the only one that I know of that allows multiple users at the same time. Does anyone know if they have a server in the states too? (I know they got one in the Netherlands)
I download at faster than the advertised speed of my line, so maxed out and then some.
None of the major usenet providers allow multiple users. Most will ban you readily.
I know but this one advertises that they do. I'm not sure if they mean at the same time though(is that even technically possible?). Does anyone know?
I also get it a little faster than the max of my home line. Unsenet is definitely the way to go for downloading.

So thats unlimited downloads for 8 people for 100 bucks a year(though obviously someone could use more connections if no one else is gone.)
You should have at least 2 connections per user if you are going to max out you connection.Quote:

p2p maxes out your upload speed (thus slow as f*ck browsing) usenet doesnt :01:Quote:

And one or 2 connections should be fine, heck I'd be happy with getting half my down speed. Also can you pause and continue downloads automatically? I mean I guess you could just do the parts that you havent done with a new nzb.
I don't know how many connections you are going to need to get a decent download rate. Just gotta try it and see how it works out for you.Quote:

My line speed is 6 Mb/s and it maxes it and then some for every download I do every time. When I download with rapidshare using something like Flashget I get about 5-5.5 Mb/s
really? My line speed is about 700kb/s but I only get about 60kb/s on rapidshare.
free rapidshare is slow:mellow:Quote:

guess not. Now I just wonder why it is for me....
Actually, usenet can max out your upload speed.. if you decide to post something ;)Quote:

You have no idea what you're on about, the 'scene' has nothing to do with usenet - all posts are from normal users or groups of them, and without them usenet wouldn't exist. I post all the time from home, it's hardly difficult. RAR your files, create a par2 set, post.Quote:

its called standard's:yup:
Again, no idea what you're talking about. Usenet has nothing to do with the scene and scene standards are a load of nonsense.

but my download limit is uncapped. so if this test was longer it would just keep gaining.
In your case you are downloading as fast as your HDD allows, not you internet connection :PQuote:

With usenet I have my max download speed (~12MB), I don't see the real interest to buy an usenet access if your download speed is the same with P2P ...
maxed out........
1mbps ;)
+1, Everyone using my network knows when I'm using Usenet lol.Quote:

I dont believe all countries will have those kinds of speeds, the highest speed in my country is 8MB and that costs a fortune.Quote:

RS isn't slow for those who pay. I also get above the advertised 6Mbps on usenet AND RS.Quote:

8 mb down
