Guest deadzombie Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I just thought this was funny... my brother is sending me a 'few' files through my FTP. We had never seen a "days" dialog before. It's also kind of funny that we get awesome connections with everyone else in the world but each other... Just thought I'd share. Thanks to my brother, Evil, for the screen ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deadzombie Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I run fiber optic he runs dsl. We both get fantastic rates with everyone else we connect to. Whats so funny is that we only live about 10 miles away from each other. We could burn cd's of the files, walk them to each others houses, and be back enjoying a beer before this transfer was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted July 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2002 I rather upgrade my network thingy or burn into CD and transferred to other computer :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 fiber optic and dsl? how many files are you transferring? the cd option looks better if it takes that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruptedSeed Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Gezzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!! carrier piegon's take less time. And your providers say there is nothing wrong. Maybe your system and your brother's just don't like each other. That is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brn2prgrm Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Just out of curiosity, run a tracert and see how many nodes it passes through between you and your brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadzombie Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 My brother and I are 10 miles apart. I ran traceroute on a new transfer (we killed that 51 day transfer yesterday) and it seems our data is moved over most of North America and into Britain and then back again.:dead: So he's bringing me some data cd's tomorrow (in exchange for a sweet 2 hour Bruce Lee biography I have on tape)...looks like we'll be finished 47 days early! What's funny is I ran a traceroute on a Q3 server located about 100 miles away from me that I use alot...the data doesn't even leave the state. Go figure.

brn2prgrm Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 hmm, that is weird than. Looks like your brother's ISP is pretty messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadzombie Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 He seems to have an excellent connection... I attribute it to luck. We have no luck when trying to interact with one another online. If something can go wrong, it will. I think our tech auras repel or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brn2prgrm Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Well both of you might want to try using a proxy. That might help keep your connection nodes within the US and speed things up. Not sure if it'll work, but just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted July 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 4, 2002 Yeh i was gonna suggest a proxy, probably wont route all ya internet traffic down into my land then :D hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
