My test results .....

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 961 Kbps about 0.96 Mbps (tested with 579 kB)

Download Speed is:: 117 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net  (Server 1)

Test Time:: 2006/04/08 - 6:32pm

Bottom Line:: 17X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 8.75 sec

Tested from a 579 kB file and took 4.937 seconds to complete

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; YPC 3.0.2; BT Openworld BB; SV1)

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 39.34 % of your hosts average (co.uk)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-6X8ML1JVZ

ive done this a few times and reconnected then tried again and this is the best so far all within a few % of each other

im now off to read other posts but feel free to help speed me up

cheers

i am in england and i read that trying a closer test server might be better so ......

Germany - 1704 kbps  /    208 kbs    /    69% host average

Sweden - 1831 kbps    /    224 kbs    /    74% host average

seems quicker but i use azeureus and thats getting info from the whole world i think

i use ccleaner every day

ive got the latest avg free virus scanner and update every day

i defragged about a month ago (did not know this slows speeds)

im with ukonline and their 2meg unlimited service

i use microsofts anti spywear and recently found 4 alerts due to a dodgy download and deleted them all

i do have e-donkey installed but nevr really use anymore would that slow me down?

at times ive been dl at 200k but usually at 30 to 70 k which is annoying

ill give that thing a go as it seems to speed stuff up after a few days

can i ask what it does and how?

love the site chaps

Hey, G.F.P and welcome to the forum.

The test from the European mirrors look like they get you pretty close to your advertised downstream, but we may be able to boost that a bit.

I would not use Azureus as a basis for judging your download speed.  It is dependent on the upstream of the sources of the files, the network route, and also on how much the program is monitoring your seeds.  A lot of file sharing programs will cap your download if you don't seed enough by their standards.

Cablenut works by editing registry values, meaning it actually affects the efficiency at which Windows can handle network traffic.  All you need to do is go through the Make It Faster... sticky and when you get to the cablenut part, select the file which is closest to your advertised speeds. 

It is also important to understand that a lot of software running on your PC can affect your download test results.  Please shut down firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, browser extensions/toolbars, instant messangers, filesharing applications, and download monitors before testing.  Good luck!

just re-read all this and ive a question

when im using azureau and no other progs should i shut dow ..

my avg virus scanner

microsoft antispywear

windows firewall (the only firewall i use)

is it ok to shut these down when downloading

also with axureus does the share ratio make any difference, like will they penalise my d/l speed if my ratio is low?

cheers guy and i must say i like your advice as you lot dont get arsey or sarky like peeps on other sites do

p.s if you like cars then visit the site im from www.turbo-babes.co.uk (if thats not allowed delete it)

Yes the share ratio makes a big difference, I dont care what anyone tells you it does. You can do ok with a bad share ratio and if there are no leechers and a ton of seeders it wont matter. But for the hot new file you will be at the bottom of the ladder in terms of bandwidth. I dont know what the hell arsey or sarky mean but I like it  :haha: :haha: I live in Texas so I dont speek good anything, English included.  :D I would say it is ok to stop any of the programs you listed while DL but make sure you scan the file before you do ANYTHING with it at all. Some on this site will disagree with me here... but Im used to it my wife does it all the time.  ;)

Do you know anyone in the UK that has a webserver I am looking for a mirror in the UK for sure :) --- actually I would like to build a list of servers in as many countries as I possibly can... since the site is starting to get quite a bit of non-us traffic lately...  testmy world-wide :-D --
