heh reverend :nice speed I posted some of my tests from this morning on VanBurans topic "post your speed & how much you pay monthly".So i didn't put then in again here.I can't get DSL I'M 28600 ft from the Telco.I could get cable here but some aren't too satisfied with the service here.I'm thinking about it though.How do you get such a nice copy of the test mine look like the copy & paste type because that is what I do.What way do you do this? Cholla

heh VanBuran: I thought I would post my tests with you fast guys.these were taken 1/14/2005 aprox 7:20am cst USA .there is one that I took yesterday at your site in Sweden at this post: 56K regular dial-up score .The rest are from this morning. 56k regular dial-up $9.99 a month at nts-online.net located in Lubbock Tx.The downloads are good but my upload could be a lot better It was the same with & without the firewall. :cool:Cholla :::..

heh resopalrabotnick: Whatever works for you.Thats why there are 1000000+ chill recipes.Just like I like Wolf brand on hot dogs better than homemade chilli. :cool:Cholla

heh resopalrabotnick: I figured out what you were talking but already had the reply typed. I am going to put an explanation of this you may already know this but for those that don't:A ping or knock is caused by the fuel detonating before the piston reaches top dead center.This can be caused by the ignition(spark) timing being too far advanced.The cause in a high performance engine is usually compression pressure. the pressure explodes the fuel before top dead center before the spark plug fires. Then the other cylinders & momentum have to push the piston against the explosion to top dead center (causing the knock) before it can complete the power stroke.This causes power loss because the explosion occured before max compression was achieved.The turbo accomplishes the higher compression by forcing more air into the compression chamber this increases the volume of atoms (explodable fuel mixture) in the compressiom chamber,The more volume in the cylinder the higher the compression;the higher the turbo pressure the more volume.Lower octane fuel explodes at lower pressure the too high of compression pressure causes this.So the fuel octane needs to be increaesd until the knock stops for max performance.The pistons have to be made of a material that will handle the pressure but thats another subject.Lowering the turbo pressure lowers the compression stopping the knock & saves the engine if you can't get the correct fuel.This lowers the max performance below what you would get with the correct octane fuel but increases the current performance by stopping the knock caused by lower octane fuel.I would have tried to explain this with a shorter reply but whole books are written on high performance this is a lot shorter than a book. :cool:Cholla

heh rasopalrabotnick: I understand the need for speed when you can't spend 8 hours mine usually takes 3 to 4 hours to get yhe right thickness.But when you are in a hurry the sausage works .that is why I suggested the chorizzo sausage takes the same amount of time as the Itallian but already has the Mexican spices. hi microwave:I agree even just meat & beans are good .As the commercial goes"How long has it been since you had a bowl of Wolf brand chilli .Well thats too long" :cool:Cholla

hi resopalrabotnick : I'm sure we all have our quick recipes for when you don't have time for the long version.Try chorizzo sausages if you can get them.But I'm with you in putting the Itallian sausages in the spaghetti sauce. Cholla

sorry I wrote the rest of this before I under stood what you meant you were talking about the turbo boost still this has approximately the same effect it just does it a different way.By forcing more air into the combustion chamber you increase the compressionSo from here on I was talking about something different but related.A 12 to1 compression ratio would be between 190 & 230 psi depending on your info .The fuel available today is to low octane to burn at that compression even the best premium you can get.Aviation fuel mixed with premium & racing addtive would be the best bet to burn fuel at that compression.I will show my age by this but I remember when the cheapest regular(leaded) had an octane of 99.Shell sold a super premium that was 110.this is what was necessary to run the old muscle cars with a 12 to1 compression ratio.a richer mixture is not the same thing as octane its like running with the choke partly closed on a carb system or too high of performance fuel injectors for the engine.it just causes carbon and damps down the explosion with too much fuel toair ratio.thats what stops the knock(pre ignition).If thats not what you meant

hi reverend : to bad the real hot stuff bothers you now

hi Reverend: no this one is in Amarillo,Tx it has been for several years .it is usuall one of the first two weekends in January depending on how they fall.It is put on for Make A Wish usually sponsered by Coors & Bud.My receipe for steak chilli will nearly melt the pot.Has 7 to 10 different chilli peppers of various heat range in it . These dried peppers might be hard to find outside the south west.Have you tried Morton's chilli blend chilli powder its one of the best .with it almost anyone could make pretty good chilli mild enough for most people.If not they shouldn't be eating chilli anyway. Cholla

Hi legiwei: I have a windows 98 se here of some of the registry tweaks in my system. I am putting the usual disclaimer don't mess with your registry if you don't know what you are doing.I am not responsible if you crash your system.Backup your registry before doing any tweaks to it.That being said here are the tweaks they are not origionally mine & can be found on the web at various sites but not all at one site.Even if you don't add them it won't hurt to check out your registry to see what is in these locations...Your MTU can be determined by ping if you can ping there is plenty of info on how to do ping on the web.If you can't ping then ask the techs at your isp what it should be. HKML/system/currentcontrolset/services/MSTCP "DefaultRcvWindow" without quotes Dword this should already be in the right pane value is your rwin HKML/system/currentcontrolset/services/MSTCP/parameters "GlobalMaxTCPWindoSize" without quotes add as string value in right pane it probably won't already be there.The Windo part of this tweak is correct there is not a w at the end of window.The value is your rwin HKML/system/currentcontrolset/services/MSTCP/Ndi/params Dword "(Default)"without quotes set at your MTU value Dword named "@" without quotes set at your MTU value HKML/system/currentcontrolset/services/class/net/000 "IPMTU" without quotes Dword in right pane set at your MTU value HKML/system/currentcontrolset/services/class/net/000/Ndi/params/IPMTU Dword "(Default)"without quotes set at your MTU value Dword named "@" without quotes set at your MTU value add values to right pane HKML/system/currentcontrolset/services/class/net/000/Ndi/params/IPMTU/enum delete the values for "Large" "medium" & "small" without quotes Leave tht values for "Automatic" &(default) rename "automatic" your MTU value like "1500" for example the put in "Automatic" without quotes as the value of the dword it should look something like this example I could not copy the Dword symbol so where I type Dword is where the symbol would be Dword 1500

hi .s1 I guess it makes a difference if you are weaned on chill like they do in Texas.To me they all taste different but some beer or water in between samples helps .This is a 100 small samples not bowls .So most who come to the cookoff can have some. Cholla

I went to a chilli cookoff 1/8/2005 in Amarillo.Tx .I tasted about a 100 different chillis.Some excellent,some good & some I wouldn't feed to my dog.This doesn't have much to do with computers so here is some tech advice: don't spill chilli on your computer unless you have a good firewall. Any other chilli lovers at testmy.net? Cholla

My isp blocks ping& this test doesn't have a setting for dial-up so I have to lie to it to get to the final step .here are the results I copied them don't look like the others maybe someone could tell me how to do it better.Thanks Cholla 1.

Hi Microwave thought I would vote in your pole.I learned to drive in a 1941 Chevy pickup of my granddad's.It had the old 4 speed with a granny gear for first(not synced)I was only 10 at the time.I still drive a manual 4 speed.Shifting without the clutch is really hard on the syncs.You must have been a truckdriver to learn this.Cholla

Hi Microwave I appreciate you checking out the speed on your uncles computer,I've heard that a business phone system can really slow things down.I used to get that kind of speed from my old isp from the same computer & phoneline I am using now.I am posting a test I did about 11:30 pm 1/11/05 at test my net.I wish my upload was like this.

Hi VanBuran: I would like to know if the defrag download above will work on windows 98 se.Thanks Cholla

HI VanBuran Looks like it worked.I hope this is the best catagory to put the poll in.If it isn't you seem to be able to move things where they need to be . Thanks Cholla

Thought I would do a poll to see how many like me are using testmy net.To the ones on regular dial-up post some of your scores.CHOLLA

Hi VanBuran: I should have waited for a response before starting the second thread .Is there a way to just delete it? :oops: :oops:Cholla

HI VanBuran: I decided to start a new topic on this.I have actually taken the upload at testmy.net & speakeasy esveral times over several days results are always about the same at both.Low at testmy.net & high at speakeasy.You can see why I wouldn't like to post the upload speed from testmy.net . Another question this topic is getting pretty long is that what the Lock button is for to stop this topic?And should it be stopped when it gets this long?THANKS Cholla

Re: 56K regular dial-up score

My download speed is good at testmy.net but not as good at speakeasy which is the test site broadband.com uses.I am putting these results here to show the UPLOADS mostly.These tests were taken in the same hour.Notice the large difference.I may start a new topic with this .If thats not cool the older members can let me know. :::..
