Re: [Speed] max out 16Mbps connection
5 DivX videos downloading in Flashget with DU Meter showing 17.3mbps |
... has a pretty fast pipe.
Several of us here like to start a few of the videos downloading and look at a bandwidth meter - DU Meter or Netmeter(free).

I pull 17.3mbps after PowerBoost.

| thanx. Whar type of app is flashget, btw? I'm not familiar...
I imagine the newsgroup dl speed is accurate, though. Prior to upgrading to 16Mbps, my average newsgroup dl rate was 1000KB/s. Makes sense, right? |

1.9.6
Download manager/accelerator. Each file you start in Flashget tries several(5-6) connections to the server.
Usually, if the server allows multiple connections, the download(s) will fly.
I start a few because the first one finishes pretty quick and I/we want to see what it will do sustained after PowerBoost runs out. 
Blast is provisioned at 17.6mbps(17600kbps?) so I can live with getting 17.3mbps... ya know?

| cool. I will give the combo of flashget and dumeter a shot. I also think that adding a router to the mix, slowed down my connection a bit. Prior to adding the router I would pull 3000KB (24MB) during powerboosts and then it would drop down to 16MB. Now, I pull a little over 16MB during powerboost and it drops down to 13-14 MB. Any settings within the routers firmware I can tweak to resolve this issue? I would love to disconnect the router during hefty downloads, but with comcast one can only use one mac addr at a time. If I disconnect the router, my modem won't work hardwired unless I give tech support a call and they reset it on their end. |
