RTB

Sometimes America sucks, and sometimes it's way ahead of everyone. It's a step in the right direction, let's hope the security on the network is sufficient as well.

I have no idea where to find that, sorry. Doing a tracert straight to those nodes and pinging them work fine, but when tracing to testmy.net they screw up.

Tried again, and this time the tracert looked smooth. 82 ms to thegamer.serveftp.com.

If you're pinging to me: I'm running ZoneAlarm.

Pinging to the first: Min: 25 ms max: 100 ms avg: 38 ms And to the second: min: 26 max: 85 avg: 38 The plot thickens...

Of course not. Like I'm able to edit the registry there... Either way, the computers get formatted at least once a week, problably more often.

Busted! That's below average upload for Cox really, at least the scores I saw on this board. You can tweak your upload. IIRC a few tidbits can be found here. I'm just trying to create some fun on this forum, and if that includes getting 'pissed' at a newcomer, well... you just have to endure it My avatar is a goblin btw, and I hope that wasn't a reference to trolling on a forum I can't wait for a custom title: The Troll Guy.

Even my home connection is better than this! Ok... except for the upload.

Not to mention his tendency to spam I'm starting to understand why the "be a dork " line is on the main page. It's me, isn't it? Edit: Why is it that the 'animated' smiles no longer do their thing? They just stand there. Without the rolling eyes my life is incomplete... Move damnit.

Are you sure you don't want to be killed by me? I mean, I do it for free! There's no reason why you shouldn't, except for the part that you won't be alive anymore, which is not a bad thing really. Some people like George Bush do fine without a brain, so I think you could do fine without a heartbeat. Nice record.

It would be ironic for someone to mention a website that uses your custom testing stuff. How much space does the logging take up? Eventually, you'll have to delete really old database entries to free space for new entries. If you need help some help to make even tests by the most unreliable connections accurate, just ask me. I'm not implying that I have such a bad connection whatsoever. Sue me. Idem dito, but then for your speed compared to mine.

Cable rules! Uhh, I mean: CA3LE rules!

Sure... and the next thing you see is the ghost_of_RTB has registered.

Hmm, I wonder what the problem might be Try uninstalling SP2, and if that doesn't work, check for spyware. You should do that anyway

Latest test: 1000 kbps. I truly hate the router here. I have admin access to that thing, and there is no setting that handles throttling. If my dad decides to download something on the new computer, I can only get the remaining bandwidth. He's a leech, so often that's next to none. He uses FlashGet to download, which divides files into 5 pieces and downloads them separatly. Add 3 of them downloading at the same time, and he takes all upload bandwidth available. Help.

Well that sucks. I have a 3com network card in this comp, and it's set on auto. I doubt the drivers have been upgraded, because I couldn't even get them to install.

Your upload isn't bad at all, 226 out of 256. That's about 90%, which is perfectly normal.

Philosophical question: Do you think everyone does?

Finally got through... bloody BitTorrent client. That is some nice speed ice! Chello really needs some competition, so I can get nearer than 1/4th of your speed.

As long as you didn't laugh out loud, you're fine. If you did, I'd be searching for an original way of torturing. After of course disabling your internet access. That's the least that should be done... more is always possible.

Some people should start to learn the mysteries of sarcasm. And cruel irony as well. Having a bad internet day.

No more testing today. It takes about a minute to load testmy.net.
