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.

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

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.

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.

*I leave it as an exercise to the reader to work out what part of my anatomy I was typing with

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