"What Connection?"

Basically just curious to what internet connection you have on your pc?

Thats the website, not the connection. Most websites are on crappy severs that only give out files at around 20 KB/Sec

I advise you get Download Accelerator from:

512k Cable connection to just the one PC

Dude you really want to get that looked at. Call Pipex. Andi is on Pipex and he gets a decent service.

Read my post below, and you'll find that meny website's downloads run at crappy speeds because they are being stingy over bandwidth. DAP or DA (address below) connects to the server 10 odd times and gets the file in 10 odd bits, and puts it together at the end. This results at download speeds that are at a decent speed.

and if you want to know what speed you are connected at, hover you curser of the pic of 2 pcs on the task bar and it will tell you in BPS.

22755200 bps.

Is that good/bad?

Holy mother of god!

Thats amzingly fast. Most broadband is 512,000 bps.


Jesus. That is very, very, fast!

I just quickly worked out you should get download speeds of about 2370 KB per sec! Mine is only 60 KB per sec, and mine connects faster than its spose to!

600kbs from NTL, on only this computer until I can be bothered to get round to networking.

Well, that number may indicate a fast connection, but that's not what I'm getting.

Are you sure you've done your calculations right, as I doubt I can be getting that type of connection, with very poor results.
