Ehh... I pay $19.99 a month for wireless internet. Works good enough for me, it's not like bittorrent goes much faster with a quicker connection.

Actually, it does. I max my connection out all the time, and it only takes 2 torrents to do it.

I never average above 30k on the downloads I do, and neither does my friend on his 3mbps connection. Ehh.. I'm patient, and therefore richer.

Wow. I guess I'm just hitting more popular torrents. The anime torrents are generally very very fast.

That's probably because while they do give you 3mbps downstream, most cable connections are limited to 256k upstream, which is 32KB/sec... So you are just about maxing out.

It's different because internet traffic is different every second.

Unless you're on DSL or another dedicated line, just for yourself.

unless you are directly connected to the computer you are downloading the test material from, you still need to g across the INTERNET... and trafic flows on the internet are always changing... most of the time your computer wint even take the same path to connect to the same website... different paths + different traffic flows = different times.... doesnt matter if you are on cable, DSL, T1, T3, OC12, or dial up... the rating will always be different... even when it comes up as the same, all it really means is that it was close enough to round off to the same number

Exactly. You can't be right about EVERYthing. SOMEtimes, I do know what I'm talking about.

Wow, I'm pretty impressed that such a small mod can make such a difference! Sweet.
