[Godly] downloading speed.

[Rishwin]

Sorry, but I just had to remark on this...
I get 16-to-20mb/s down, and 3-to-6mb/s up. Perhaps you are trying to say the average person doesn't get more than 10mb/s, but you most certainly can get more than 10mb/s. The average connection in Japan is about 67mb/s down, last I checked (about a month ago). By next year, Verizon FiOS (fiber optics) will be available in my area at $65 a month (a flat rate), for the 20/20mb/s deal (down/up).

You are referring to line speed. My line speed is 17mb. The highest possible line speed is theoretically 100mb, that is the speed of your average CAT5 LAN ethernet connection. I am talking about the download speed. Online speed tests will not give you your download speed, they give you your line speed. Generally your download speed is 1/10th of your line speed (mine is 17mb, i download at 1.7mb/s max).

To clarify this, you are claiming to have a 20mb/s download speed... that means you can download a full 700mb movie rip in 35 seconds. I highly doubt that. I can occasionally do above my line speed (downloading from Rapidshare with my premium account using reget download manager) and download at 2.1mb/s and at that speed i can download a 700mb movie in just under 5 minutes.

[gigorga]

The speed he is showing is 60mb/s, NOT 6mb/s. That is not possible, the fastest internet connections available today can reach a maximum of 10mb/s.

Yes I know it's not possible, but this has happened to me on ACCIDENT I did not intend too do this also they took away my laptop for "evidence" That's when I got pissed and took further matters into my hands. I started aruging with the police about why would they take my laptop if you already know half the servers were down in Ottawa? They said for Court reasons we have to confenscate your laptop I'm sorry sir we will return this to you as soon as possible. Well gladly they did return it to me faster than I thought and they said "Sorry for the mishaps we were mistaken." and they gave my laptop back and I said thank you. Anyways Rogers internet in Canada, Ottawa half the servers went down that's what they told me that's what I believe, I did not pause up my download or something like the other guy said. All I did was download and if you guys think that "ahh it was just for looks it probably didn't finish" Or something you are wrong It finished I put it on a CD and I put it on my computer. Anyways thanks for your comments well most of you guys.

Edit: This was also a maximum of 5-10 minutes.

I see your mistake, Rishwin. You have mistaken bit for byte. Depending on how you have made your download manager read your download speed, you may see mb/s (megabits per second) or MB/s (megabytes per second). There is a great distance there.
So, by technicality, you are still wrong. By lack of knowing what the hell you were talking about, I am wrong, too. ^^
For megabytes, I get 2-to-4MB/s. In bits, I most certainly do get 16-to-20mb/s (and my torrent program rates the speed in bits, mind you, not bytes).

They took you're laptop because of the speeds you were getting, the ISP servers may have suggested that it was you who brought down the servers (if the police arrived it as obviously an attack of some sort which brought down the severs). I would never have given them my laptop, they need a warrant for it.

I see your mistake, Rishwin. You have mistaken bit for byte. Depending on how you have made your download manager read your download speed, you may see mb/s (megabits per second) or MB/s (megabytes per second). There is a great distance there.

Ah well don't we have a smart cookie. Yeh i know my bits and my bytes, but i know the majority of people here do not so instead i used their descriptions - line speed (bits) and download speed (bytes) instead. I find it ALOT easier to use bytes instead of bits because that is the "measurement" used by the actual files themselves; ie. you do not have 100megabit files, you have 100megaBYTE files.

But as you can see from his screenshot, he was getting 60MB/s which is 65 megabytes per second.

I will admit though i did forget all about bits cos not many people are familiar with them so i cast them out of my mind :P

[Stup]

ok so you stopped a download then started it again while the data was in the temp folder big deal. i can do it too

Yeah, was gonna say that lol..

Not true. Heard about fiber? In one larger city in my country (which by the way, are really slow to build more networks >.>) they tested out 1 Gbit/s. That's 125 MB/s. Most harddrives can't even write that fast. But that was of course only a test of future technology (a couple of years). But nevertheless, in Sweden it's perfectly normal with 100mbit/s and has been so for a while. I know people there who only use the internet to surf, yet have so fast lines because it doesn't cost much :S

[nathan123]

I'm on cable in the UK and i have a constant 20mbit connection, it will download at 2.5MB/s

Also, I find it very hard to believe the police came knocking on your door to take your laptop away

[Ytys Vynsan]

Lets clear a few things up.

One its possible because its a torrent, e.g. a connection 'can' download at its top download speed, unlike http where most download speeds are capped at 1-3mb/s because of bandwidth shares/limits/etc.

Two it is possible to have 100mb-1000mb internet connections, totally possible but expensive. For example to my house i've had 52mb connection using 2 26mb internet connections and i easily got 20mb/s down and 2mb/s up, but as i said 'had', i had no need for it so i took my internet back down to a 'cheap' connection because i'm saving for uni and such.

Three, Download speeds don't mean crap anymore, nor does upload speeds because of the increasing investment in internet speeds, i mean come on.. how many countries are spamming other countries or selling stuff? its needed, i could see in lets say 2 years, most homes having 100mb/s connections as a BASIC connection, england for example is already planning for this, fiber cables to every street, well thats the plan, don't know if it will happen or not.

Want a way to be the best at upload/download speeds?

Make/Own a botnet ^_^!

Do the maths,

10,000 computers infected; (easier then it looks)
20kb/s uploads each stolen;(not a notice-able amount)
200,000kb/s upload for the botnet;
Thats 194.5mb/s uploads, enough to do whatever you want with.... take out a server for example or something.

If you really want to be Urber Old School, get 100,000+ computers infected, thats 1945.5mb/s uploads.. enough to take out a small country.. stuff shooting people, bleedy take their internet from them, my bet is that it would cause chaos!

Yet again you are mistaking actual LINE SPEEDS with DOWNLOAD SPEEDS. The LINE speed is capable of 100 megabits per second. That makes the download speed 10 megabytes per second. Is that or is that not exactly what i just said above?

Have i ever heard of fiber? ADSL 2+ uses fiber. It is NOTHING new. What they are experimenting with is creating a gigabit infrastructure between the exchanges to create a faster network. Woopdee, we have that here, it means nothing. Will users get anywhere near that speed? Absolutely not.

You are very lost, aren't you? I really do not feel like going throgh that and pointing out all of your mistakes, there really are that many.

But the basic points:

1. No, that speed is NOT possible.

2. No, downloading above 100MB/s is not possible. You cannot even transfer something from your flash drive at that speed.

3. Download speeds don't mean crap anymore? Cancel your broadband connection with your ISP and go back to dialup. THEN tell me they don't mean crap.

Yet again you are mistaking actual LINE SPEEDS with DOWNLOAD SPEEDS. The LINE speed is capable of 100 megabits per second. That makes the download speed 10 megabytes per second. Is that or is that not exactly what i just said above?

I think you are mistaking what a byte is :S
A byte is 8 bits.

And yes, it is possible.

[NTV]

1. No, that speed is NOT possible.

Yeah, that speed must either be an edit or a glitch
either way it's not possible to have a speed such as that....

[Wh005h]

Yah that's not possible. Servers normally have limits on them. If someone is hosting a legitimate download site then they'll have the download rates controlled too.

Enjoi non-fake pix. Taken from my old Ro server that I use to run. I have 3 others in my photobucket but that one is of the fastest speed. Downloading from FileFront.

[CrashOveride]

And yes, it is possible.

The download speed if 60,000 kb/s isn't really possible unless you have a line speed of ~500mb...
In Japan the line speeds are around 100mb.

It is technically possible if you have a dedicated gigabit connection for yourself and you are downloading from someone else with the same connection...
So, no it's not possible that you were actually downloading at that speed.

Also that gay little story you made up just makes me want to ban you lol.

Technically possible = possible

The computer is the bottleneck when you have that kind of connection.
