Damn... dope!

Even that isn't going to help. There isn't going to be any speed test out there that tests upload WHILE downloading... because it's inaccurate. Even if the test shows both upload and download results, they are performed separately so that both are accurate... why would you want to test your upload speed while downloading? The point is to see the MAXIMUM throughput and that can't be achieved unless your connection is dedicated to ONE task.

you've been warned... too often to count

This topic has been moved to HELP!. [iurl]https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=3840.0[/iurl]

takes too long to query ~~ I use gethostbyaddr($ip) this is the full code of getting someones IP then converting it to a host and dropping off un-needed data function GetIPu() { if (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP") && strcasecmp(getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"), "unknown")) $ipu = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"); else if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") && strcasecmp(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"), "unknown")) $ipu = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"); else if (getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") && strcasecmp(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"), "unknown")) $ipu = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); else if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] && strcasecmp($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "unknown")) $ipu = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; else $ipu = "unknown"; return($ipu); } function get_isp($ip = '') { if (empty($ip)) { $ip = GetIPu(); } $longisp = gethostbyaddr($ip); $isp = explode('.', $longisp); $ispr = array_reverse($isp); $isp = $ispr[1].'.'.$ispr[0]; return $isp; } $host=get_isp(); [/code] If someone can tell me a better way to do it I am open for discussion

twistedpc.us mirror has been removed.. he must have taken his test files down or something.

Well, it detects your host by a reverse lookup. It works fine for most people, but sometimes it will show a portion of your IP addy. If you are going through a router or gasteway this might be messing this up.... I have written in the code to do a quick check, meaning if it takes too long it will just give up (so that people don't have to wait around for a reverse DNS resolution) ~~ don't worry about it, you know who your host is and can still compare your score to your host by using the "host stats" tool ... just type "sympatico.ca" or look for it in the drop down box

Damn seriously.. number 217... very low --- Swimmer was #39 - VanBuren was #35 and Microwave was #13 ice, lorne, RTB following close behind them ~~ back in those days though I get less new members per month (far less) than I get in one day now there wasn't a number 1 ~~ it was deleted ~ I can't remember why :-/ here is the list ordered by join date https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=mlist;sort=registered;start=0

Opt online rules ~~ what package do you have?

just hover over your usernames in the post u=2 (me for instance) I am user number two ~~ don't try to over complicate thinks by adding and subtracting...... it is different for many users... if I delete a member or ban it messes with the user ID sequence ~~ un-confused?

Date registered is in your profile yours was "Date Registered: December 29, 2004, 11:19:17 AM"

reno and pitbull481 need to be mods for their ISP's and the help section ~~ I am going to make a couple more groups in the next few days.....

It's insane.... lol

php and Aggr3 are both mini mods-- They can moderate DirecWay and the Help section php has just been upgraded and Aggr3 was already a DirecWay mod and now has been added to the help section... to be upgraded later

sweeeeeet organ_shifter... very nice, mine is blue like that too I have a lanparty board so everything is UV, although my case isn't completely clear like that, but does light up the room at night....... as soon as I get a new camera I will take pics I just got a new Veiwsonic 8ms DVI LCD Monitor (highly reccomend this one) it's a Viewsonic VP171b --- I also just did a 160GB SATA raid0 array -- shit is so friggen fast I think I may do a full overhaul soon, and upgrade........ from my current / Athlon 3000+ Corsair 1GB Dual Channel DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro DFI Lanparty NF2 Ultra B to this / Athlon 64 3500+ 2 or 4 GB Corsair Dual Chan ATI Radeon X800 Pro (pci express) and DFI Lanparty (the PCI express version) Guess I will sell my old stuff to one of my friends ~~ I got that 9800 Pro like 2 years ago and it still kicks ass on ANY game... that is the MOTHER of all video cards, I will ALWAYS stick with ATI

You guys think we need more mods??? Any mods out there have an opinion on this?

It may also be your route to testmy.net - this happens sometimes, with some sites. The internet is like that :-/ -- you may want to try one of our mirror tests ( https://testmy.net/mirrors.php ) You should however get good results from the main server most of the time. This should get better in the comming months as soon as I find another good host to throw up my second server... so if server load is the issue you would then be routed automatically to the best server, this site has always had quite a bit of traffic, but in the last couple of months I have been going through some growing pains as the traffic has been growing almost too fast... the site is currently serving to over 22,000 people a day.... and still growing at a ridiculous rate. I am sure that by June 2005 the site will have well over 100K people per day visiting, so I need to hurry on that new server before my bandwidth gets too out of hand. The point to all of this is... please be patient with me ~~ but also let me know if it's a problem for too long because there may be other issues I need to address.

I miss the days when you could get a gallon of gas for 89-99 cents .... how low can you guys remember it being....

sweeeeet

I have been staying away from fast food all together for about 6 months now. Only going a couple times a month now... fast food is evil all together. Walmart is evil too (like Mc Donalds)... do yourselves a favor and go to the grocery store and realize how much better you feel after getting away from fast food, I have dropped from 185-190 back down to 158-165 just from doing this -- and I have more energy too...... by the way, I dropped this weight at the same time I quit smoking (quit smoking in August) - I actually should have gained weight, but better food helped that I stopped shopping at Walmart too ('cept to buy ammo, and salt for my water softener) Target is a much more calm environment. And hell... you only save like $.50 by shopping at Walmart anyway... Walmart isn't worth it.. long lines, packed isles, rude workers and smelly shoppers... Target is clean and friendly and quite - My 2 cents :evil6:

who are you getting the line through?

Watch out... World of Warcraft takes lives, I lost my best friend to World of Warcraft... lol
