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


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


edit :- you could always try this speedtest to confirm

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

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.

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

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.

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

Strange bovine smell around this thread.
