Zelda!

100+ hours now. is there some way I can tinker with some of my settings so my 50.6kb/s connection downloads things at least at 10kb/s? Or do I need to go have a 'chat' with my ISP

and for the record I hate Zelda. I dont know why though, I played it on NES/SNES (dont remember which one) and it just didnt appeal to me. Of course that was back in the day when Commander Keen and Duke Nukem rocked! Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure was another good side scroller, so was Jazz the Jackrabbit.

I miss DOS

Its very buggy, nearly as buggy as TOEE after the patch

Good to know I'm not mistaken

Hey, I liked Diablo.

You can chat as much as you want, you aren't getting 10k/s.

If it's slower than your usual potential the constraint is probably the server/person you are downloading from.

[Space05us]

perhaps you misunderstood what I meant by chat, I could make the man an offer he could not refuse.

Is there a reason I can't dl a file at 50.6k/s? Technicaly thats how fast Im downloading this website aint it?

[DrSpike]

That figure is not the effective bandwidth you have for download. Around 5-6k/s is about right. I'm sure some of the computer people around here can explain it better though.

Have you tried segmented downloading using Download Accelerator or GetRight?

[smart ass]no I risk disconnection and therefore loss of all transmitted data while downloading files which take 100+ hours to finish downloading. [/smart ass]



I use getright but all segmented downloading does is keep it up at 4-5 kb/s if I dont segment it it usualy dls at 1-2 kb/s.

By my reckoning 4 or 5 > 1 or 2.

This is the price one pays when one lives in Alaska. No shops, no women, slow internet, snow, penguins, etc.
