Re: Hotfile IS throttled! fine, if that really is true, then the keyword is 60-70kb/s.
if you can get over 60kb/s its not the bell throttle.
70kb/s is over that.
Additionally I was under the impression the throttle lasts for 4pm-4am at 30kb/s.
Unless they have different implementations of it on different DPI boxes.
additionally I have never seen that download manager before, but it opens multiple connections (up to 8 from the screenshots). i would doubt that hotfile would open multiple connections to its own server for a single file, it doesnt make much sense, this looks like some sort of P2P application is it not? |

If you have ever downloaded or transferred a file before, you'd notice that those speed/time estimates are WAY off.
If you'll look at the beginning of the video, there are already 6.105 megabytes downloaded. By 1:39 in the movie when the speed spikes up, there are 11.458 megabytes downloaded.
Assume:
Video represents realtime.
To calculate the average speed, you can say that you've got:
11.458MB minus 6.105MB in 99 seconds, or ~55kB/s.
Thus, you see that this was indeed consistent with Bhell's 512Kb throttle. |

It's not, and hotfile does allow this. It is the main attraction for buying a premium account for any file sharing site. Mediafire does it for free though. |
