Way to go Josh! Man, I don't know how you've been able to deal with a dial-up all this time!!! In January it will be 3 years that I've had DSL, and if I had to get rid of it for some reason, my days online would be over.

Gnarly.

:D

Take care,

Dude, broadband rocks, go to http://www.toast.net/performance/ pick 1mb by toast.net free and tell us what ya get!

This is what I just got:

oh no, he-- naw, just what burner needed, lmao. :rolleyes: ;) :D :D :D :D :D

I got 1094* K

not bad but a little slower than you

I get T1s at home... :D:D:D ....no clue what im capped at here at UF tho....it isnt too shabby here...i downloaded up to 250kbps...no complaints about that speed...most sites dont let ya download much beyond there anyways

Hey, don't forget to use a firewall. Free one at Zone Alarm and or use a router.

Kick azz!

I got 1010k in 7.9 seconds. :( :(

I should have closed my other windows and apps first, I guess. i'm on three different websites right now, and my email is busy. Still, should be better. Hmmmmm

I'm runnin about 700K in 12.96 seconds with a couple other things running......I have a "wireless" modem....not cable, not dialup.....runs off a little receiver pointed at a tower.....connected all the time like cable, just not as fast....Best offered in the area i live though.....pathetic, eh? Why don't YOU try living in western Nebraska!!!!!:mad:

Don't threaten me, young man!!!

;)

Take care,
ÅChris

:D :D Hehe....my bad.....:D :D

It does suck a little bit though, for these reasons....otherwise I don't mind it too much. Just sucks that we're living in the flippin STONE AGE!!!

Dude... you're still WAY better than dial-up!! Have no fear!

yeah ben, try the old 56k d up.

I got 1501 :D cable rocks!!

Oh great... I can just see the porn sites crashing from too much traffic :D It just sucks that your car is as fast as the US postal service ;)

I love college networks. The 1mb test loaded in 1.578 seconds. 5070K! and I just remembered I'm downloading at the moment.

I got 1,000,000 bytes in 8.202 seconds.

This is like online nerd dragracing. :D :D :D But I love it. lol I think I would get abit lower cause I havn't restarted in like over a week, + I got tons of **** open. I was downloading at school the other day at 3.8mb/sec. I have no idea how it got those speeds, it wasn't off cache cause it was a fresh image on the pc. I wasn't even aware the harddrives could write that fast cause I believe they are just 7200rpm drives. It was pretty sweet downloading 100mb file in a few seconds. :D :D

§am.

**EDIT**
I think I did the wrong one maybe, I selected the other one and Loaded 1,000,000 bytes in 6.75 seconds. :D

WOW!!!! that's awesome!!!!:cool:

Sam, just thought I should point out that the file is 1,000,000 bytes, which works out to 1MB. Not 100MB. You were right about todays hard drives though, they have a sustainded transfer rate of about 20-40MB/sec or so depending on the quality. Most software is designed to work around such limitations, for example, by storing it in memory until it can be written. Which would allow you to d/l at higer speeds than your hd can write until your memory is full.
Now I really feel like a nerd.
