cholla Posted June 18, 2006 CID Share Posted June 18, 2006 karthic;I'm not sure what your asking.Do you mean the testmy speed test showed 80kpbs while you were doing a DL from another site? Or Windows DL box showed the 80kpbs? As far as I know you can run simultaneous DL speed tests in different windows from testmy.But you bandwidth would be divided so slower.As far as other sites speed also depends on that sites capacity to upload or their upload speed.

cholla Posted June 18, 2006 CID Share Posted June 18, 2006 .s1 ;Is right about the distance.I opened 4 windows of testmy's DL test & started the tests as close togather as I could.the time on one is off but it was done at the same time anyway. You can see how it divided the bandwidth on my dial-up .I'm not sure how this would work with a faster connection maybe someone will give it a try & post I used the 579 kB tests because I was using dial-up added togather the total is 46Kbps which is about right if I was only doing one test. :::..

wingzero2309 Posted June 20, 2006 CID Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you're downloading something and run a speed test while the download is running, then the speedtest wont give you an accurate reading, so it's best to just do the speedtest while your not downloading anything.

php Posted June 20, 2006 CID Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yeah... if you're doing more than one thing on the net at once, the bandwidth gets divided. So if you have a 1mbps cap and you're downloading a file at 100kB/s (about 800ish kbps) you only have about 25kB/s (200ish kbps) left for anything else you might be doing. Browsing is usually given priority over downloading too, and the bandwidth is usually divided evenly between downloads or applications, but that's not always the case.
