jamesmark Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thats a not bad result mate, BT only offer up to 8mb. Also try http://www.speedtest.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thats not a very good site, they don't have the bandwidth to do high bandwidth tests. It only registered 4MB speed for me, but on other speed test sites I get over 4 times that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Near enough the same as the other test for me, So whats my download in Mb? As Jamesmark says the site you're downloading from is the key here. Speedtest.net is one of the better ones for testing your current connection, but as a guidline your one is about the same as a 4MB download, 0.4MB upload On high seed/peer ratio torrents I get higher results than even the speedtest site (20MB download can easily be maxed out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Near enough the same as the other test for me, So whats my download in Mb? http://www.speedtest.net/result/245575973.png Divide by 1024 to get Mb or divide by 8192 to get MB.

colsoop Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 your better going off to a fast server and seeing what transfer rate you get for the download, a fast server with a big file here: http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/games/cellfactorrevolution_install.exe (860 mb) you don't have to download the whole thing, just run it for a minute or 2 to see what your are getting.

Scott Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 They aren't really fast enough either. I'm only getting around 900k with that file. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott =op Your connection sounds like mine and infact never maxes out, So i use a download manager which makes about 10 simultanious connections for the download and maxs out the avaliable bandwidth.
