k-wak Posted July 16, 2005 CID Share Posted July 16, 2005 So, I'm downloading an episode of Naruto. I got bored of bit torrent as it is hella slow, and decided to download directly. Then i found out, it isn't much faster than the torrent speed. Odd? Very. :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 2249 Kbps about 2.2 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Download Speed is:: 275 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server1) Test Time:: Fri Jul 15 21:07:49 PDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 40X faster than 56K 1MB download in 3.72 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 83.61 % of your hosts average (shawcable.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-L6OIMEQ8R But, my direct download right now is running under 4Kb/s. Am I missing something, or is my computer just messed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireXxX Posted July 16, 2005 CID Share Posted July 16, 2005 Did you get the same speed if you d/l different file? If not then the host maybe down, too far from your location or to many user d/l from their server. Try using download accelerator like download studio or leech get.

k-wak Posted July 16, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 16, 2005 I tried downloading from a different site, but the speed doesn't vary much. Thanks for the tips on download accelerators though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireXxX Posted July 16, 2005 CID Share Posted July 16, 2005 Np, it's nothing :D I assume you're downloading from underground site ? if so try searching different url that host the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
