Crazy downloading speed....

[hugh.jeego]

i've got 2mb/256kb but thats just standard in northern ireland. my isp boosted me from 512Kb to 2Mb for free. There is a 4mb and 8mb service coming soon though

[hugh.jeego]

if so what speeds u at?

Well I don't know exactly the speed of my pipe, but I can download at a maximum of 190 kB/sec and upload at around 45-50 kB/sec.

So I'm guessing that's around 1.5mb/512kbps... right?

You really dunno what that is?


A computer that has a complete copy of a certain torrent. Once your client finishes downloading, it will remain open until you click the Finish button (or otherwise close it.) This is known as being a seed or seeding. You can also start a BT client with a complete file, and once BT has checked the file it will connect and seed the file to others. Generally, it's considered good manners to continue seeding a file after you have finished downloading, to help out others. Also, when a new torrent is posted to a tracker, someone must seed it in order for it to be available to others. Remember, the tracker doesn't know anything of the actual contents of a file, so it's important to follow through and seed a file if you upload the torrent to a tracker.

¿CDN? € or $ please! I pay 40€ for 2Mbps/256Kbps Spain sux!
But in my university i use i suppose 100/100Mbps, it is a shared connection so i'm not sure. I use it to seed and keep my ratio as high as i can 3-4. I've reached like 1-2MB/s download and upload speeds there
