honestly it doesn't work like that. i got 260kbps on 2mb and dont get the full speed on 10mbps. (i almost do)

same server but faster speeds on smaller file?? LOL

yeh yr right.. the other file seems to be slower:

and you are correct the blueyonder pcguard install file downloads very fast.
however 973kbps is still fine for a 10mb connection. lol only 27kbps away from 1mbps

None of those speeds are valid dude you need to let it settle down which you won't get out of 1 second of download

BY 2Mbit was capped at 2148kbps, not 2048kbps.

Won't see full 1200k out of 10Mbit due to overheads, receive windows and other wonderful esoteric stuff.

better tests are ftp of a linux mirror or something. Much more accurate and outside blueyonder's network.

My connection is less than a 512 line now!!!!! I must have been right about the connection getting tweaked and sorted before as it's still not showing as completed in the http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyond...bbs_evenfaster webpage. Hopefully soon I can get to use my net. I'm in a Call Of Duty clan and play Pro Evolution 4 Online and I can't play at all the now :'( Boo bleeping hoo. 40kb/s download speed im getting on ADSL speed test with 17.6kb/s uploads. But when trying Andymt's 40 meg file im still getting 200 - 400 kb/s and with PC Guard on blueyonder page I'm getting 257kb/s. It's all gone pete tong!!!!!! Only one week to go till completion hopefully
