MemberNice connection, I wish mine was as fast as that, I regularly get up to .75Kb/sec (on a good day).
If I turn off the download accelerator there is more times than none a distinct improvement. You work it out.:cool:
10 simultaneous connections to the same site for less than 5MB I dont believe is in your best interest.
Where simultaneous downloads work best is with multiple download sites, my rough rule of thumb is one connection per MB up to a max of 10 connections. As there is no other server found by your accelerator I would max out at 3 connections.
But Hey! if it works for you then it works.
My longest download took over a month, 5.5 weeks…. I have patience.:oP.S. 5.5/sec is as fast as you usually get on 56k dialup.
work this out…
5.5 Kb/sec
is equal to 330Kb/min
is equal to 19MB/hour.
I suggest you find an accelerator able to do math. 😀
Your true download rate is below .00604Kb/sec, In fact it has totally stopped.
Which just proves…… pictures do lie. 😮October 26, 2003 at 8:09 pm #54046coolguyj2
Memberhey dee…. i am on a cable
i get 10 – 13kbps (pretty slow but gud by indian stds), nyways… if u see the time left and the size downloaded, then u will come to know wht I am talking abt… i think u missed it…October 27, 2003 at 11:13 am #54042rustedtight
MemberQuote:quote:i think u missed it…I think not.
211 hours is 12660 mins which is 759,600 seconds.
at 5.5 (as indicated by your accelerator) Kb/secYou would download 4,177,800
Over 4 gig????Quote:quote:Which just proves…… pictures do lie.Something is badly amiss on your system. 😀
I dont doubt what is being reported to you, Perhaps its time to shoot the messenger.
Try it again without the accelerator.October 27, 2003 at 2:42 pm #54044IndyTone
