I'm asking what your typical download rate is when you're actually downloading something, not on a speed test ...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The number in the AIM get file thing were it says "transfer rate" ?

Between 37-42 KB/sec for some people, others upwards of 127 KB/sec. Seems pretty piss poor to me. Around 45 minutes for 105, 000 KB

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I used to get an even 40kbps but now it just slows down.

i have never gotten 127kbps, thats fast !

Get 70-120 kbps off of mIRC ... not fast.

I don't understand that NewsBin Pro, newsgroups, etc stuff at all ... and it's 5x faster than what I'm doing now.

Newsgroups are great ... Unlike bittorrents and other P2P programs, you're not limited by the people you're downloading from, so you can easily use your connection's full potential. Also, if it's not a popular file you're trying to get, it'll take forever to get through a P2P program.

Newsgroups - 500-640 KB/s

Popular Torrent - 200-600 KB/s

Typical Torrent - 100-400 KB/s

Unpopular Torrent - 10-100 KB/s

mIRC - 30-250 KB/s

P2P (WinMX, Ares, etc.) - 10-300 KB/s

i get a nice 2kb regular download speed...

well that happens when ur stuck with crappy 56k

Your download speed : 6330864 bps, or 6182 kbps.

A 772.8 KB/sec transfer rate.

A 156 KB/sec transfer rate.

Your upload speed : 539124 bps, or 526 kbps.

That's terrible.

dang Denim....if those were my download speeds bodily fluids would more than be lost...

Rogers digital cable 3Mb/s download, 384kb/s upload

$44cnd a month 60GB bandwidth limit.

Bell sympatico high speed phone is faster int his area. You can download at 300-350 without a monthly bandwidth limit.

Your download speed : 1966734 bps, or 1920 kbps.

A 240 KB/sec transfer rate.

Your upload speed : 418235 bps, or 408 kbps.

You pay $44/month for 3 Mbps cable ? Ouch ...

You can get 7 Mbps cable for $47/month in BC ...

You can get 7 Mbps cable for $47/month in BC ...

Shaw?

Telus has been just TERRIBLE lately thanks to their strike.

Yeah, Shaw ...

Telus wasn't even that good before the strike ...

Did removing those startup programs help any, Steve ?

I should look into Shaw then.

I haven't really noticed a huge difference in performance after removing those programs ... however, startup seems to run more smoothly.

6.0 Mbps download and 800 Kbps upload is $50 including modem rental.

We are VIP members so we get liek 15% and something off. So really we pay like $39-40 for a 3Mbps. I perosnaly prefer Bell Sympatico and they cost same but isn't available in my area. But 1km it is. It's weird. We have TV cable, digital cable, internet cable and mobile phones with Cable so it's worth staying with them.

woopuckinghooo

downloading a Steam update for CounterStrike: Source... large file, nothing else going on right now (aim & two IE windows open):
