    Started off bursting with 350kB/s, then, amazingly, it steadied at 317/318kB/s (amazing that the speed remained so constant, and so high!)

    Using UTV 3Mb connection.

    Exactly 1.0MB/sec on an NTL 10Mb connection.

    Same here on the same package. Started at 1.1MB/sec then half way through dropped to around 0.9MB/sec... Happy with that!

    A bigger file would be better but I'm getting 5.52MB/s {or 44.16 Mb/s }for the current.iso file.

    Edit:

    And yes that is MB/s not Mb/s

    5.52 megabytes = 44.16 megabits


    ===================

    OP: Why do you want to know this info?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 429 ✭✭Vunderground


    I'm getting 1.5 to 1.9 Mbs/per sec on BT 24Mbs package.

    @ nd - are you having any speed probs downloading from rapidshare (.com or .de)?
    I'm on same service as you

    about a week before the upgrades I could get a steady transfer rate of 330KB/sec
    about a few days before the upgrade, and since then I cannot get any better than about 70 - 80K transfer

    any other sites I can hit the full 700+ transfer rate

    is it possible for dw to limit RS downloads?
    would find it hard to believe they would /could "throttle" [for want of a better word] rs downloads when it's all http traffic

    strange it happened just before the upgrades *suspicious*

    maybe watty could shed some light??

    It is VERY easy for an ISP or even anybody running Linux {Squid} to throttle per date type, origin, destination, size, time, etc,
    And that is before you even get into DPI {Deep packet inspection} with can do this to even highly encrypted data.
