NTL running on all four?
 

I tend to max my download speed on 120kbs with torrents or FTP: between friends sending DVD camcorder videos which can be 2-6gb :dozey:


Is that a quick speed for NTL 1mb or am I not running on all four cylinders?

I dont run kazaa or any p2p system nor have msn or other webwindows open whewn downloading with very little running in background.

On xp Home sp1 with a 2.8ghz AMD Athlon with 256ddr ram.

it would be about on the mark :tu: :)


edit :- you could always try this speedtest to confirm :)

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Cheers dude, just curious as once i had something rocketing down at 156kbs for over 7minutes, cant wait for 1.5mb counting hours down lol around 170+kbs if im right woah....the power eh :monkey:

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

175kbits/s I got on 1.5Mb in the lab. YMMV, that was a controlled environment!

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

yup but watch out for the cap :disturbd:

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

LOL /hide from big NTL people


mind you not a letter yet

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

I see 1.5mbit cable still has a long way to go then :-p

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Users should be expecting to see 175 - 180kbyte/s. Maybe a little more, however 175-180kb/s is an acceptable top speed.

peacedude2k4 you seem to have a strange obsession with showing off how much you download. Interesting.

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

it is rather strange aint it considering the number of ntl employees on here :disturbd:

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

I transfer alot of dvd camcorder files from friends to my pc, where i edit them and upload them back some files can be 2-3gb and there and back in a day can take a bit even have to mail the finished edit back to them quicker then uploading it

Botties - read 'Kbytes' for that. Teach me to post with a baby in one hand and an unfinished urgent bit of perl in the other* after night work.

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

wasnt the babies arm while it was holding an apple was it :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

You must have a lot of friends simultaneously uploading their camcorder videos to be able to achieve that download speed. :erm: :)

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Must have been he's nowt else to type with. How's your wife and my kid BBK? :p:

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Strange bovine smell around this thread.

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

No idea, mate, I'm not married. How's your wife and my quadruplets?

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

No JANoob, thats just me, oh, right, um, no comment, editing friends camcorder dvd....right, I take it they havent heard of popping to your house and giving you a DVD... Or posting it, maybe I am too sceptical and you are sincere....bah

EDIT : Forgot the quote :p

:notopic:

Please try and keep this on topic !

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Yep, that is around the speed I normally get. According to getright (which can be wrong), I have been downloading at around 130-140Kbytes per second over the last couple of days.

Actually :notopic:, but I do help maintain video editing systems at work. I think you'll find things run a lot smoother if you bung in more RAM (at least another 512 Meg). Just a bit of advice.

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

PMSL well if someone bothered to ask I would have explained the DVD would be kinda expensive to mail to the USA wont it lmao. So it is uploaded to some webspace paid for by a friend where I then can download it at high speed, then I edit it do a bit of work as they cant do jack all on there system they are not ICT nuts even there website was made by proffesionals hired and maintained by them.

As for the downloading I hit the speed of 156kbs a few times now especailly early morning downloads, perhaps next time if before Aug 1st I will actually screenshot this just to shut u up :o

Right thats that point answered I need to go sort out next download NO I will NOT be giving link to this website as its a personal site for my friend and I to share his home videos, if you must know what they are of as some nosey people may :p:

They are of House surverying which he makes a dvd video of a home then with my editing and voice over and editing out when he falls over swears and bangs his head on a roof beam, we have a perfect video to send to people sometimes annoying i get them and they are just good to send as they are :confused:.

AHHh well roll on 1.5mb and NTL raise the caps because Im downloading more and more from this dude. Otherwise net is just used for this forum MSN Messenger and Lycos Chat

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Sounds like a somewhat commercial use of the connection to be honest. Oh well...

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

Cap is not going to be raised, only download speeds.

Re: NTL running on all four?
 

What are you encoding those in?
You can get about an hour and a half in about 700mb if you encode them in DivX.
