Mr. Hahn Posted December 2, 2004 CID Share Posted December 2, 2004 I had a pretty interesting experience with DC++ last night. I'm on a 3/256 package. However, last night, I downloaded a 1.5GB file in less than 5 minutes. My down got up to 10MB/s! Yes, megaBYTES! I have no clue how this happened, but I have the screenshot to proove it.

disturbed Posted December 2, 2004 CID Share Posted December 2, 2004 wierd ! but nice hehehe lol.........took me about 10 hours to download 1.5GB worth of NFS-Underground 2 over (torrent tracker) last night slow, but worth it hehe lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hahn Posted December 2, 2004 CID Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is there a special way you find fast torrents? Any torrent I download from never gets over 20KB/s, but I mostly get 3-5KB/s. It's frustrating to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue how this happened, but I have the screenshot to proove it. did the file work? Same thing has happend to me a couple of times, but all was fakeshare movies and did not work. Edit: this show how accurate some speedmeters are, also a funny thing to add Comhem is a swedish cable modem ISP with a maximal upload speed of 1 Mbps hehe VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hahn Posted December 2, 2004 CID Share Posted December 2, 2004 Sadly, no, it didn't work. However, the file in my shared folder is indeed 1.5GB. I'm not sure why it didn't work, but it isn't like I wasted a bunch of time downloading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICROWAVE Posted December 2, 2004 CID Share Posted December 2, 2004 I think it would have been much better to test from The University of Arizona....everyone knows its a much better facility in a much nicer city....of course thats just my opinion.....I could be wrong......but I really don't think so Microwave Lets see if that will start something.......lol....go cats:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted December 2, 2004 CID Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is there a special way you find fast torrents? Any torrent I download from never gets over 20KB/s' date=' but I mostly get 3-5KB/s. It's frustrating to say the least.[/quote'] You'll have to find torrents with a lot of seeds to get high speed. On legal files I've gone up to my cap, while popular movies got me up to 100. For the rest (still common downloads) I consider 50 KB/s a good speed. Try downloading a popular Doom3 torrent, you might even reach your cap.

Alot of people do that to increase their share size. btw you should have known it was fake.. no such thing as .avi.mpg lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 I'm not talking about whether it was real or not. I'm just talking about downloading such a large file in such little time. Even if it is inflated, the file is still 1.5GB. However, that inflation thing could have something to do with it seeing as how I have no clue what it is or how it works.

When infact, because of the inflation, may have been no more then 1.5 mb. Sure, even windows will read it as 1.5 gb file because it doesnt know to check it otherwise. The more inflation, the less the actual size, the less the download time. Its not even a real file... eh.. its hard to explain.. but thats just it.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 How are they created? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 That im realy not too sure of either.. I know i used to have a client for DC++ that would allow me to say i was sharing an entire file list of music weighing in at about oh... 456 gb? Or whatever number i so felt lol.. and it would actualy display a list of music ( huge...friggin list ) but when you tried to downlaod one of the listed songs, it just says " file not avaliable" But to the bots that check the hubs, it passes their standards. As well as an option to just make your share size say anythign you want it to, from 0 bytes to 999 TB, but if you get caught you get banned from hubs . - So im guessing the file inflation is based on the same principles.

VanBuren Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 :knife: to all fakesharers ! a ban is too kind VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 VanBuren is right ...people that do that kind of stuff are really idiots in my book and maybe flogging is better than banning........The way its done is with the code thats being applied....like always if your good at code you can do anything you want ............ to me whats really sad is anyone that is that good would be better served doing something helpful for people instead of scaming.....I wont say where but that particular program is available to anyone.....Its another reason why lots of people are against open source for everything especially the stuff that belongs to Bill Gates...........

just- Posted December 6, 2004 CID Share Posted December 6, 2004 what is the point of showing off u got like a gigabit connection to your house when u actualy are sufering like a bitch on a 56k? no point on faking that stuff in here man we love speed and we love speed tests but the real shit man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hahn Posted December 6, 2004 CID Share Posted December 6, 2004 Haha, he isn't talking about us. He's talking about the people we're downloading the files from. The files are bloated to make a very small file seem large. Many DC++ (P2P network) hubs require you to share a certain amount of GB to get in them. As a result, some people make these fake files to get in. Btw, if I had a gigabyte connection or anything close to these fake file downloads, I would be flaunting it all over the place. I wouldn't care what anyone said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
