Whats your average download speed?

[tpdawkins]

You have no idea what you're on about, the 'scene' has nothing to do with usenet - all posts are from normal users or groups of them, and without them usenet wouldn't exist. I post all the time from home, it's hardly difficult. RAR your files, create a par2 set, post.

Again, no idea what you're talking about. Usenet has nothing to do with the scene and scene standards are a load of nonsense.

but my download limit is uncapped. so if this test was longer it would just keep gaining.

 

[Reef_Guy]

I know but this one advertises that they do. I'm not sure if they mean at the same time though(is that even technically possible?). Does anyone know?

 

[darcy m]

I also get it a little faster than the max of my home line. Unsenet is definitely the way to go for downloading.

In your case you are downloading as fast as your HDD allows, not you internet connection

Really depends on your ISP. If your plan is slow, something like a 3mbps line will max out. But if your line is an overkill like 20mbps I think the usenet providers will not hesitate to cap you. The max out thingie is just false hype because no providers really claim that.

 

[Karrie Shmarrie <3]

really? My line speed is about 700kb/s but I only get about 60kb/s on rapidshare.

free rapidshare is slow:mellow:

 

[glespaul12]

I download at faster than the advertised speed of my line, so maxed out and then some.

None of the major usenet providers allow multiple users. Most will ban you readily.

Sweet I just got an email from hitmail.eu saying you can, you just have to share the connections.

So thats unlimited downloads for 8 people for 100 bucks a year(though obviously someone could use more connections if no one else is gone.)

I dont believe all countries will have those kinds of speeds, the highest speed in my country is 8MB and that costs a fortune.

I get maxed with my plan of 1500/256.

You should have at least 2 connections per user if you are going to max out you connection.

Yes it is, they limit free users speed, I have an account with them.

yea, my hdd limits me. inch:

 

[Levon]

RS isn't slow for those who pay. I also get above the advertised 6Mbps on usenet AND RS.

 

[<3 Theater Gal <3]

I have a premium account too. I thought 60kb/s was like the most anyone ever got on http.


guess not. Now I just wonder why it is for me....

 

[TypicalQueerness]

p2p maxes out your upload speed (thus slow as f*ck browsing) usenet doesnt :01:

Actually, usenet can max out your upload speed.. if you decide to post something

 

[RKO (NMC)]

I have a 50Mbps download rate and Astraweb will give me an average of 30Mbps rate with 20 connections on their SSL server. To put it into perspective, I can pull a 4GB file in about 15 minutes.

 

[TaraynM]

8 mb down

if you post a big enough file; youll be posting cr*p (you will post a nuked file), just get a request in, leave the uploading to the the scene :whistling ..... usenet is way diff from p2p, u dont want to upload cr*p from you pc, trust me; .................:fst: no offense bro, do what u want

 

[!<>BabyGurl<>!]

I always max out my 30MB connection
