Max Download Speeds

[Helpmeh]

Just wondering what's the highest download speed you've gotten on your computer. I don't mean speedtest.net results, I mean real files you've downloaded and have seen the speed.

Me, the highest I've ever seen was about 600kb/s on my iTouch and about 325kb/s on my computer.

Also, just for fun, slowest download speeds you've encountered.
Me, about 0.5kb/s downloading a large file. Knowing me, you would know I would have found a better source to download from. Some download mirrors really suck!

I never pay attention to my download speeds...  Maybe I should.. I don't know..    I guess I just take what the ISP says in good faith, although I realize I'll never get the full theoretical download speed they advertise.   If I was running bandwidth-sensitive applications maybe I'd have more of a reason to check..

I just downloaded AVG 9.0...  I'm averaging 150 kbps download speed..

You must mean 19.11 Mb/s (mega bits/s) = 19,110,000 bits per sec. = 191.10 kbps


If 19.11 MB/s was your speed, then:

19.11 MB/s (mega Bytes/s) = 19,110,000 bytes/s = 152,880,000 bits/s = 152,880 kbps   would be your down speed..

Even VDSL, where the max theoretical download speed is 100 mega bits per sec. = 100,000 kbps wouldn't beat your download speed..  I want your ISP

Carbon has to be getting 191 kbps, there's no way he could be getting  152,880 kbps (see my post above)..  Assuming that you are stating an accurate speed approximation which I doubt, that would mean your download speed averages x10 faster than Carbon's..   

Your stated speed:  2mb/s = 2,000,000 bits/s = 2000 kbps

Carbons likely speed: 19,110,000 bits/s = 191 kbps

You must be going off of what your router or ISP is telling you... Try downloading some files and note the rate...

I have a program that monitors network traffic - including LAN traffic. I got 19 megabytes a second transferring files over to another computer.

Hey, he didn't specify.

I did say downloading.

You download data from your LAN network.

I've downloaded files at around 10 MB/s or so before, according to firefox.

19.11 MB/s (mega Bytes/s) = 19,110,000 bytes/s = 152,880,000 bits/s = 152,880 kbps   would be your down speed..

19.11MB/s=  20,038,287 bytes = 160,306,296  bits = 160.3 megabits/sec


that's one fast internet connection, heh

[soybean]

About 179 Kbps.

[Helpmeh]

About 179 Kbps.

That's about my average download speed on my computer.

[soybean]

That's about my average download speed on my computer.

But, in your OP, you said:

Me, the highest I've ever seen was about 600kb/s on my iTouch and about 325kb/s on my computer.
