How do you work it out that it is not within the Virgin network then?

Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at gamefiles.virginmedia.com Port 80

i never said it wasnt within the network!

Anyway this is getting a little off topic so I will leave it here :)

yes it but you will find tht just because you can use 32 connections that it is not always better

Re: Reliable Way Of Testing Speed? Maybe

I usually download from Newsgroups using 8 threads and connection usually maxes out at 1.2MB/s, but rarely see any more than 500-600KB/s on any speedtest often much less than that.

Interesting thing happened last night. Started a 1GB download in newsgroups, was only running at 700KB/s, disabled Avast On-Access Protection and speed went up to 1.2MB/s and remained at that level when I enabled Avast On-Access Protection again!

Re: Reliable Way Of Testing Speed? Maybe

Newsgroups I can max out 6 connections at 1.2MBps and on speedtest.net I can always hit full speed.

The only time I get any slowdown is when someone is accessing my webserver

;)

If you ring Virgin then the only speed test they will accept is the gamefiles one.

Sorry for the way that posted, I was meaning to show that its a specific Server as you can see from the address, and that is its function.
