I followed these instructions for one week & in different times of the day & night & I got the answer.

Following are the steps.

Download torrent client any I used uTorrent from http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/

Then I went to CentOS web site & select download the DVD ISO image via a torrent, it s big 4 GiG file from the university of Warwick Site.

Question is? using Torrent why University of Warwick, because two of their servers are feeding these ISO images in peer mode. so you will get the pipe of 10GiG, if one had the download capacity.

Following is the link for university of Warwick

http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mir...3/isos/x86_64/

Select the torrent for DVD download of the ISO image, this is just for test only, you can delete the ISO image later on after testing the download speed.

I got the sustain speed of 4693kbps which is 46.93mbits/s ish (+/- 1mbits/s)

You have to try it at different times of the day during the seven day test.

I got 53.71mbp/s on weekends between 1am to 6am.

My speed test @ www.speedtest.net is almost during those times is never above 39mbp/s ever, so I can not relay on these tests.

Share your results what you got.

Kind regards

Sorry, but I've got to disagree..

Just tried the link you provided, download speed 30Mb.


Tried a couple of traditional speedtest sites (speedtest.net & mybroadbandspeed.co.uk) straight after and got this:

I don't think that site you linked to is providing the bandwidth needed...
