:cool:

Maxed out at 340kbs Down and around 38kbps UP.

No Caps either.

I kindof skipped the 1MB and went straight to 2mb. Will be moving to 8MB this summer.

What's the use for a 10Gbit connection when you can't even write data that fast.

10Gbits is about 1Gbyte a second, don't know any disks which write that fast, maybe UCL uses SCSI hard disks.

The best connection which is worth getting is a 1.5Gbit, this speed will allow the data to be written as it is downloaded per second.

4000/384 through comcast high speed (yea, thats a joke) internet. Thats only if my modem works.

I love comcast. Been with them since 1996 (when they were @home) and they still refuse to replace my dying 5 year old modem.

When i move up to william paterson university they have a 4000/1000 connection when it feels like its 100/100. Damn college networks.

I'm on 10mbit university network atm...so in theory I can get up to 1.25MB/s download, but it rarely goes over 1MB/s when downloading large files on fast servers (legally :p )

edit: With a 500MB limit on traffic per day (upload + download)...between the hours of 8am to 8am. Weird times really.

    • LibreOffice closes in on Microsoft Office, leaves Windows 7/8 behind in 25.8 Beta 1

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Mixed news. Glad to hear LibreOffice is catching up to MS's Office. The latter has become way too bloated/complicated and non-intuitive to non-power users. Apparently, MS no longer cares for the non-gaming home-based consumer. Sad to hear support for WIndows-7 is ending. Many users remain with Windows-7 as it was easy to use, intuitive, and reliable. Non-power users and gamers don't need to needless complexity, dubious "features," and long-term instability of the last few versions. [After "how many years" Windows-10 is now reasonably stable--as long as MS stops mucking with it.]

      Yeah but Microsoft actually did a good job with Aero Glass. I remember the only complaints was about how people could not use it without a top tier card back in the day, it would also disable until you activated Windows. Aero Glass was used in window borders, taskbar and yes the Start menu, but only as a border reference, the programs in the Start menu had a black background on Start (if I remember correctly) and All Programs and context menus were not glass.

    • Wine 10.10 released, brings updated Mono engine, bug fixes for several games, and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Wine 10.10 released, brings updated Mono engine, bug fixes for several games, and more by David Uzondu Nearly two weeks after Wine 10.9 dropped, Wine 10.10 is here with an updated Mono engine and the complete removal of a major graphics dependency. The Wine Mono engine, which provides .NET Framework support, has been bumped to version 10.1.0. Another major change is the removal of the OSMesa library as a dependency. OpenGL rendering on memory device contexts will now be handled by a pbuffer, cleaning up the graphics stack. Here are other notable changes with this release: More support for generating Windows Runtime metadata in WIDL. Locale data updated to Unicode CLDR 47. P010 format support in Media Foundation. Of course, no development release would be complete without a boatload of bug fixes. This version crushes a total of 38 bugs, addressing problems in a wide range of applications and games. Gamers will be pleased to see fixes for titles like F.E.A.R., S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly, and StarCraft Remastered. Issues that caused a black screen in Steam's Big Picture mode and crashes when starting a new game in F.E.A.R. have been resolved. The fixes go way back, even tackling issues in ancient software like Lotus Freelance Graphics 2.1 and input problems in the classic indie game Braid. Here's the full list of game-related issues addressed: Rise of Nations: Both mouse buttons were required for a single left-click Braid: Both Shift keys needed to move puzzle pieces F.E.A.R: Crashed with an "Out of memory" error when starting a new game F.E.A.R Combat: Black screen at startup due to memory error S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly: Crashed when loading into a save file StarCraft Remastered: Game wouldn't start with Wine 10.5 Unreal II: Hangs with a black screen when switching to 1440x900 resolution Eador. Masters of the Broken World: Bad map textures after starting the game Horizon Chase: Freezes on startup The Fidelio Incident and Vampyr: Beeping noise on exit Burger Shop: Shifted to the top left corner in fullscreen mode And here's the rest of the issues that were fixed: Lotus Freelance Graphics 2.1: Hangs at the splash screen HTML-Kit 292: Tab bar isn't fully visible without scrolling at 96 DPI Tab completion for cmd: Improvements made regedit: Binary values editor layout is broken and .reg files couldn’t be imported Baofeng5-5.31.1128: Welcome window crashes on start Canon printer driver installation now works Steam Big Picture mode: Fixed black screen when using d3d10 Noteworthy Composer: Crashes in winealsa resolved Ricoh Digital Camera Utility 5: Crashes when switching between Browser and Laboratory modes Wondershare Uniconverter 13: Characters now display properly AVCLabs Video Enhancer AI: No longer crashes on start New thread stack memory usage optimized PlayOnline Viewer: Window now properly activates after being minimized Virtual desktop behavior fixed secur32:ntlm tests now pass on Windows 11 24H2 d3d9:device WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED test no longer fails on Linux GitLab CI no longer crashes in various multimedia tests HP Prime Virtual Calculator: Fixed startup crash Qt Installer for Windows: Now functions correctly SHIFT-based range selection logic corrected Creating 64-bit wineprefix with old wow64 now possible Regression from realloc switch fixed (memory now zeroed as expected) RTTI now works on arm32 after recent changes Smartsuite 3.1 installer no longer crashes Fixed possible use-after-free in dbghelp's symt_add_func_line Build issues with clang for x86_64 resolved due to RTTI changes You can read the full release notes here.
