So I went on speedtest.net on the school's computer.

You guys ready to see the epic speed of my school's conncetion?

Are you sure you can handle it?

Aw man, maybe it's just the fact you're all in America, but your download speeds are just ridiculously large compared to mine. At the moment (using Speedtest.net), I'm getting abouts:


And that's not mentioning the ridiculous throttle speeds if you over-download. Let's just say I struggle to get more than 10 kb/s download when I've been throttled.
Stupid Virgin Media...

HOLY CARP.

That's like... a Wii game in 10 minutes, when it takes me around 10 hrs. at home.

I find it amusing that half the countries in the top 10 are eastern european.

We're gonna upgrade soon to 20megs fibreoptic from NTL. My dad said it should be working around monday.

That site is buggy as hell though. Did any of you ever reach a number close to that when downloading a normal file?

In Japan I had a very crappy connection because I was in a territory without good internet coverage. On top of that they hardly have any competition in Japan so internet aint that great. However speedtest.net displayed ridiculous speeds.

Alright, here's one from me.



Japan, is great for their speeds.

There's lots of competition for service, not so much for backbone, you only have 2 -4 options, but then the providers... so many!

I've not quite reached those speeds when downloading, but near them with newsgroups. I can't find these speeds DL from the web or Torrents... but who needs em when you've got newsgroups *^_^* (of course for legal purposes for DL Linux distros and such...)

My experience was a little bit worse but then again I didn't live in Tokio..

Anyone who's got BT here?

Apparently, this is the maximum speed that I can get from home. The max of the ISP is 8Mb...

I'll try the one in my college on Monday.

    @K3Nv2 - sounds like you need a better place to find cracks!
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Psionics offline right now or I would
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @cearp, Psi is offline at the minute, but he knows where to find them.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about piracy
  • cearp @ cearp:
    not that type of crack

    @cearp At a plumber convenstion. Loads of cracks!

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    A plumber is either on crack or in crack or showcasing crack

    or of course, dealing with cracks (in pipes)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Sure he could be on cracked flooring causing the leak
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much you bet delta going to be DRMd to hell and back
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @linuxares the dev just ends up at 0
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's no worse than if you pirated
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's probably better, because not all keys on key sites are stolen
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    plus piracy is not always an option
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i heard a related story for a dev actually
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    from a dev*
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    DRMs are getting stronger these days
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they bought their own game on a key site and checked where they came from and it turned out they were review copies he had given out by email to someone
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    *all* of them
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no storefront I'm aware of (at least on pc) requires the devs to pay for the keys they generate
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    they don't lose money doing this, even if someone decide to chargeback
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so that seems to be a pretty common thing, i kinda blame the dev for that one though as they were giving out like 5 keys to someone just because they asked for multiple copies for review for whatever reason and there were multiple people doing this. he should've seen the red flags
