Bandwidth of Doom

Oh I occasionally jump in a rehost torrents (I've had over 400 pulling from me at once) when I have a chance...My biggest complaint is that it takes "other" people too long to get the file to me, but once I have it...Yeah I can make some people very happy :) Course I never host "questionable" content off this pipe, so it is mostly the occasional distro and such that gets used. My company still "owns" the connection, and I would hate to have something traced back to it that gets me in hot water

So let me get this straight -- you pull at roughly 23Mb/second and push at roughly 12Mb/second?

That's just silly.

So have you gotten silly with Bittorrent yet? I'd love to see some numbers on a popular download.

ROFL, I got my employer to pay for my Internet connection, and then I got a connection that is WAY overboard...In essence, I cheated. The fastest consumer targeted connectivity around here is either Comcast's top tier offering (which is what your speedtest looks like it is) or going with some form of DSL which can scale up to around the same as Comcast's (7100/1500 I think is about the quickest you can get). Of course if you are several towns over, you can get FIOS...and then you can get the 30Mbps/5Mbps package...it's a steal at $200/month..

P.S. Don't be fooled by the comcast email addy...I still have a cable modem, I just didn't run the test from that network, if I did, it would have been roughyl the same as yours.. :)

Damn. How the hell did you get that kind of speed?

Nice...course you could do more..
