So. I'm at work, just downloading a TV show via Bitlord (common torrent software).

I got it capped off @ 50kB/sec cuz I dont wanna raise flags to managers here.

Well. every1 goes out for lunch, lets see what this puppy can do. Fully uncap it no limit and this is the highest it went, levelled off around 30KB/sec lower.

All i gotta say is holy crap!

Download Speed: 2689 kbps (336.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

see the problem with those is that you are also dependant on them.

the way I did mine was to more or less an unlimited bandwidth for receiving because I was transfering data to MANY MANY computers at the same time, rather then putting all my hopes into one server.

proof of my statment: Change servers and watch how much the speed changes.

 

i didnt record my findings, around 1600 each way.

but my screen shot was sustained over 700 for almost 5 min.

 

2907 Always wanted to know how fast my connection was

 

based on my screen shot mine runs at 5800

for the doubters. i should probably mention that my work is hooked up through the Bell Canada fiber optic network
