How big is it? Cable dont download at 2000kbytes/s..

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

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.
