midnightwolf Posted February 24, 2005 CID Share Posted February 24, 2005 Earlier today I went to download a file from a website and I noticed that the speed @ which the file was being recieved was going from 320KBps to 1.4MBps (yes it had the capital B meaning it was bytes). I tried to get a clear screen shot of this high speed downloading, but was having trouble. I started to download and canceled until I finally got the lucky screenshot below. What could have caused my cable internet to have such jump in speed I did a bw test here and it was normal. The pic and bw tests are included. :::..
