i2d | ScruFFy | Posted December 13, 2005 CID Share Posted December 13, 2005 I was sending a file over aim to another computer on my network and it wasn't going very fast, and i went to run a speedtest and only got 4000 kbps and was wondering why lan would affect the computers speed test?

So your uploading to 2 differnet sources at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2d | ScruFFy | Posted December 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 13, 2005 When i did it on a newer computer , it was able to handle the load of aim and the speedtest, so it was prolly jus the old computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted December 13, 2005 CID Share Posted December 13, 2005 yea but hey its just a question he had and scruff why do you use aim to transfer files instead of windows or some ftp program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 13, 2005 CID Share Posted December 13, 2005 sending files through aim is not a good way to go, you could get trillian and do the direct connect. Then your not sending anything out side your network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2d | ScruFFy | Posted December 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 13, 2005 lol , i dont transfer that many files anyways so i just use aim cuz it is just there and i did get the full speeds on the speedtest when i did it while transferring the files.
