That can't be right. Calculating your average speed for the past 5 hours and 8 minutes, I'm only getting about 700 KB / second; and while it's indeed fast, it isn't that outstanding :huh:

Indeed, I get about 10000`ish kbytes/sec. on some downloads using firefox, so this is nothing..... :sleep:

Can't wait for Australia to move with the times and allow us to get speeds everyone else in the world is getting.

I agree. What's our fastest - something like 1.5mbps? It's because of the sale of Telstra that we're stuck behind - damn government.

I have 8/1 with Amnet. iiNet provide 12/1, and are also about to roll out 24/1. We cannot go above this atm, as the government has to appove the next standard.

Having a 1Gb (100Mb effective) connection to the Internet and a 400Mb (100Mb effective) connection to Abilene (Internet2)... your speed seems normal :)

On a more serious note, the only way for you to have actually achieved that speed is using some sort of data compression.... but I more suspect that 1) your download is corrupt as mention or 2) the speed was incorectly reported.

This is pretty easy. Your using newsgroups. Downloading a an NZB file that isnt supported by your client. So it simply downloads 0K text files and says its going at that speed. So no your ISP isnt screwed up. You're just not smart enough to figure that out.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
