-=SD=- Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Ok, as with my other downloads the max I would get would be 217KB/sec, which would basically be the normal speed during the middle/end of a download. Today I went to download PCMark (because of the other thread here) and my download was 380KB/sec :huh: and to take advantage of my new speed boost I am download gentoo 1.4 :devil: but what I would like to know is why am I getting this speed boost lol Hmm, better call comcast to make sure my account didn't get changed to the "pro" version... :o [just thought I would share this] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persianpsycho Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Maybe like my connection, it starts out at 200 kbs, then it slowly drops to a steady 80 kbs speed. If i use download accelerator and pause it, then resume it, it starts out at 200 and then drops again. Thats why i, for example, always have a decent speed off kazaa. Perhaps the same thing applies, and that site is doing a simular effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Well this is the second download with this speed, and I am at 70% with no drop in speed yet, just kinda odd because I have never had over 220 (starts off high but always drops to around the 217 mark) during the end of a download, this is still at 380.
