Gaming Why are Wii ISO's so slow to sownload?

[xtrem3x]

45 mins here for 4.5Gb
Use O2 + Usenet

Bit of a dumb question by the op though.
Torrents are crap.

 

[gokujr1000]

i get my games from usenet. Solid 2MB/s from start to end

your lucky my usenet goes for like 400-500 KB/s

 

[Bladexdsl]

luck got nothing to do with it which usenet service are you using?

 

[Satangel]

You guys are so lucky!
My topspeed is 450 KB/s and I can only download about 35GB per month!
We use the internet almost 24/24 hours a day, sometimes with 4 on it on the same time. Those 35GB just fly past that way.
There is almost no room to download games.....

 

[aabbccdd]

35GB / month? Man that sucks, that's just a bit over 1GB / day.. I have a 1mbit connection, and still I download at least 5GB / day :|

 

[Kwartel]

Lol, My internet connection is 256 KB/s, in October it will be 384 KB/s...
I don't use Usenet, but I download from Megaupload, which is at top speed with my connection

I already own the game I'm trying to download. I want to have a backup since my kids are3n't as careful with the discs as they should be. Just trying to prevent having to buy games more than once.

Well, then use Superdump. And if you lied, you can f*** yourself. I hate people which can't say that they are pirates. Either say it, and stand to it (and the consequences) or be quiet.

Btw: My Speed is the same as Satangels, around 470 kb/s (I need around a day for 7 GB, and around 3-4 Hours for 4 GB)....but no Limit for downloading...meh, I can live with that

Why being a pirate if you've bought some fucking expansive internet for to download fast.

 

[Xta Large]

You're more than likely getting 'em from a crappy/uncool source.

 

[Kwartel]

I download them at top speed (and thats not much) from

If I would have no limit for downloading, I would be very happy. The speed is fast enough IMHO, maybe the uploadspeed faster (only 10 KB/s here....), but it's the total limit that bothers me the most....
Really frustrating, the only Wii games I can download are scrubbed ones under 1 GB or so.

We pay 48 euros per months (that's about 80 AUD) for our connection, so it's fucking expensive here too!
Fucking rip-off if you ask me, if you see our neighboring countries internet, you get fucking depressed!

 

[Kwartel]

Megaupload doesn't have a limit

 

[duy64]

This have got to be one of the most useless topic ever.

 

[Satangel]

Uh yeah, but we're talking about internet here.
Not about uploadservices.

Agreed, the original question was quite dumb, but now the discussion is very useful.

 

[duy64]

Megaupload FTW!!!
One time fee for unlimited download

 

[Fakie!]

Mediafire+JDownloader for me. I get max speeds.

Same - though MU+jDownloader is also a cool combo. Actually, if you've got reconnection enabled, just about anything works well.

If you're not a member of private torrent sites (I am, but sometimes I don't feel like wrecking my ratio) or aren't part of a newsgroup, jDownloader is your best option.

iiNet has 160gb per month for $139, ADSL2 great speeds

 

[Rammoth]

omg

I pay 29.95 Euro, which is less than $43 and my download speed is 1.8MB/s with no transfer limit! It's even supposed to be 2 MB/s, but for some reason I never get that high
