Re: Die IDM, die! AAAAAAAAH

Darkstar, if he is using some tunelling protocol like PPTP / PPPoE / L2TP you have to consider that protocol overhead.
256Kbps over pure Ethernet will give about 30KB/s, but not with one of the above protocols. However, the ISPs should also
consider that overhead and compensate the customer.

Also, one have to check his download from several fast-speed sites before claiming that he is not getting his real bandwidth. Though I doubt that Rolf has not done it already.

Mahmoud,

1. If these words were related to me - no, it does not makes me feeling bad. Almost nothing in this life can not make me feeling bad since years :)

2. Probably your account is a dedicated one, whilst the one of Rolf is a shared one.

it is something around 35$ i guess
halla2 this speed is without download accelerator
yesterday, my frnd here got something around 900k but with a download acclerator

it is not always that way..
the regular speed is 12-15.
but in lot of time during the day it gets faster or bit slower

Re: Die IDM, die! AAAAAAAAH

Maybe that's because this file has already been downloaded before and you're downloading it from the proxy?
I usually get 20-30 K but when I download the same file a 2nd time i'll get 1mb/s because it would be cached on the proxy that I have set up for my LAN.

If you have soho, it will top at 3.5 -4 kb/s unless you take drugs.

;) no offence meant

32/8 = 4, that is not counting any network overhead (!) and assuming that you have 100% of the bandwidth.
