I am just curious as to what you are on (service wise, not drugs.... LOL)
and what speeds you get.

I am on a 768kbps cable modem but max around 650 or so...... but as you know that varies greatly. Yes I know that is slow compared to some of you guys but that is as fast as I can get.

Thanks

Well here goes de keys to de ranch, I am on @home, 500 CPU, have tried all patchs but Cablenuts works best for me, I changed the RWIN to 580689 and the GlobalmaxT to the same number, d/l close to 600KB, Net Stat Live average says 790 KB, that's what works for me, Oh yea I use fast settings on Cablenuts patch, if your CPU isin't big enough use normal settings :)

Well, I only get kb's.... not bytes..... but that is the rating of my service .

I am not sure what GlobalmaxT is........ I know where it is but don't know what it affects. Mine is set the same as my Rwin

I am running an AMD Athlon 900, 128MB RAM...... etc.....

amuse me and go and download this.
it is 1MB,
tell me how long it takes in seconds,minutes, days, whatever.
http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10070-100-3285959.html?tag=st.dl.10070- 106-3.lst-6-21.3285959

I just did it and it took 15 seconds.
2nd time was 20 seconds

I am on cable and I downloaded a song from napster last night that was 5MB and it took 1 minute 15 seconds and that is about as fast as my connection gets

That is what I figured...... you guys are getting kilobits per second not kilobytes like everyone keeps saying.
If you were getting 1 Megabyte (you are getting 1 megabyte maybe) per second that would be 1024 Kilobytes per second, meaning that you could download the whole Windows operating system in about 3 minutes and we all know that won't happen.

so if 1 MB took you 11 seconds that is about 93 Kilobytes per second or 759 kilobytes per second

sorry 759 kilobits per second, there is no way you are downloading 700 or so Kilobytes per second on a cable modem.

netstats live is deceiving, re read the read me file

Jumping around to differance downloads can be deceiving also.
Location and Time plays a BIG factor in all of this.
3 or 4 am in your back yard can get you up to 1.5 GB if you time it right!
Count how many jumps you had to make to get there! :rolleyes:

Cable/DSL is not capable of such speeds. I don't care if you are the only one left on the planet. :)

Nope, that is possible. When I had ATT@Home, I was able to get 500+KBps (kiloBYTES per sec) frequently.

That's correct, as cable systems are limited to 10mbps (10mbps = 1.2MBps). However, 1.2MBps is rare and usually just a burst.

I no longer have cable. I now have Earthlink DSL, which is no where near as fast as my cable was. In fact, my cable was 75x faster (5mbps down/1.1mbps up). It flew, when it worked. :)
