Oh really? Just because I'm discussing a subject and/or stating facts doesn't mean I have to support them, much less practice them. In the same way I could claim that you're clearly jealous of speed that Feeling posted and are trying to play it down as if it's an easy thing to do so as to buff your own ego. However I've yet made that assumption myself because I assumed you were just one of the typical know-it-all guys who loves to make up false drivel that other people either eat up or just ignore because they know it's BS. So far I've proven that
I'm not sure how stating that it's possible for others to obtain such speeds is a biased opinion, in fact that would be the complete opposite of a biased opinion especially in regards to ScT fanboying, not to mention assuming you know someone is not a bias, maybe you should go look the word up.
Uhmm, lol? I'm not even sure where to begin with this...
How you imagine I was talking about you being biased in regards to people obtaining such speeds or not is beyond me. I'm pretty sure I already agreed that someone could indeed get better speeds. So if you're biased on that matter then I'm sure myself and most other people reading this thread are too.
And I'm sorry you missed my pointing out your biases in my previous posts, though it's rather clear now you have no idea what the word means yourself or you wouldn't have started rambling about something we both already agreed on. Let me know when you've checked in a dictionary and I'll be happy to clarify any points of my claim to your biases.
And what far out claims and baseless assumptions have I made? Faster speeds are possible and if you deny that you are simply ignorant, and if you think I'm going to go buy myself a server on a 10gbit line, or go find someone with one just so I can prove some kid on FST wrong than you are sadly mistaken. I don't need some kind of evidence to prove that 10gbit lines exist, because they do.
Again your ignorance is profound as you continue to misquote me.
Yes, once again, as I've stated, I'm SURE getting speeds faster than 198MB/sec are possible, but as we've yet seen anyone else get said speeds then it just hasn't happened yet. Possibility = yes, happened yet, no. Why? Because either they're you're infamous ninjas and they don't feel like making such information public (for reasons unknown), in which case they only exist in make-believe-land and thus such speeds were never achieved by them, or no one out there can afford (or wants to afford) a better setup. No one out there is coveting such stats "just because". For security reasons is bullshit. If you were running a tracker and were trying to be secure about it you simply wouldn't be running a tracker as it's not nearly as secure as other forms of network sharing that are available.
With regards to someone having achieved higher speeds in general, not specific to torrenting over a public network, I have no doubts that's true and I'm quite certain I could Google up some form of evidence of it. But again it wouldn't be via torrenting.
I'm also wondering where I stated or implied that a 10gbit line didn't exist as well... hmmm? :ermm:
More ninja magic! You seem to be good at making these kinds of things up.
The kid comment was at least entertaining though. It's just unfortunate you've run out of any real arguments and have had to resort to this form of childish lambasting.
And than again, I could take the same stance as you have been taking on your last statement, prove to me that there are no trackers with 10gbit boxes. Quite frankly you don't know, that's something you cannot prove to be false, and just because you may not think there is does not mean there isn't.
Indeed, I don't know. Tomorrow one of your ninja tracker staff members could leap out of the bushes, capture me, run all kinds of anal probing, and then drop me off at Starbucks for a free coffee. However without any evidence to suggest that such ninja trackers exist anywhere, I'll continue to point out the fact that Feeling is the only person to have posted such an amazing speed and that no one as of yet has stepped up to the plate to show they've been able to get anything better. Which, mind you, isn't to say it won't happen, it just hasn't happened yet.
Have you also forgotten there are some sites that don't wish to be traced despite having comparable pre times to some of the "top sites"?
I don't recall mentioning anything about pre-times in any of my posts? So no I don't care.
You mentioned that trackers would want to flaunt their e-penises if they had fast upload speeds, and I'm simply backing up my claim that no, not every tracker waves theirs around at every given opportunity.
Fast upload speeds = ... pre-times? I hadn't even taken pre-times into consideration when I mentioned that, but I do see your point and how you could assume I was referring to them as well. Though flaunting pre-race times and just showing how fast you can upload things are two rather different "e-penis" subjects if you consider one is going on 24/7 (races) and the other happens... whenever the tracker's staff feel like it I suppose.
...and it doesn't take some kind of prodigy to set up a box on a fast line, or to find someone willing to aid you in doing so.
No but clearly it takes a prodigy to figure out that you can't get the kinds of speeds in the screenshot that was posted with the kind of generic setup you're talking about. Go read about how bitorrent peering works for starters.
When did I say anything regarding a generic setup? Ohh wait, I didn't, I gave an example of a host that has 10gbit lines. Are you going to get the maximum theoretical speed from them? No. If you get 25% of the theoretical speed can you beat the speed in the screenshot? Yes. Are you going to beat it on a fresh install? Probably not, but contrary to what you seem to be insinuating, it does not take some super ScT wizard's magic to get those speeds, in fact you personally don't even need to know how to do it, you could even pay someone to set it up for you, which supports my initial statement that anyone willing to drop some dough can achieve that upload speed. If one of the behemoths like TL spent even a fraction of the money they make from their essentially P2L donation system they could easily get a box on a 10gbit line, and just for the hell of it pay someone to optimize it for them. Could any other site do the same thing? If they felt like paying for it. Could any other person do the same thing? Again, if they felt like paying for it.
I'm just going to quote your original post on this:
This does not require "superior knowledge with computers and diagnostics and networking", it just requires having a deep enough pocket to purchase a box on a fast line and enough leechers. It's no technology news break, these kind of speeds have been around for awhile. And in regards to people paying, any site with sufficient donations could buy an identical or faster box.
I don't see any mention of paying for someone else to set it up for you, I just see an ignorant, uneducated statement that suggests a faster setup only requires a *fast line* and *enough leechers*. That's as generic as it comes. And once again: Where are they? I don't see any one posting speeds above 198MB/sec. Why? Because it's not as simple as you've stated -which is what I was originally contending. Now if you want to bring in buying someone to set it up for you, we may as well start talking about someone just buying an entire server farm to produce insane, godlike speeds that no one earth could compete with.
Anyways, this ninja is out. :shuriken:
PS. Despite being a member of SCT, I dont' really care that much about whatever speed Feeling posted, because my 56k modem still isn't going any faster!
