sirsk8aton Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 So, I'm downloading a game right now and I'm used to 400kb a second. For some odd reason I am downloading now at 6mb-7mb per second! How could this be possible??:cheesy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Maybe you have a connection that fast? It's not unheard of you know.inb4 everyone feels the need to post speedtest.net scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Pretty sweet speed :), alot of the time the server limits your download so you dont really get the full potential of your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirsk8aton Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have never seen my download speed ever even get close to 1mb a second lol. I tried downloading some more things hoping it would be this high still, and it wasn't. I'm thinking it could be the downloader for DDO, although my brother downloaded it too and he wasn't quite lucky as me :PLol, this is what speedtest gave me:[](http://www.speedtest.net) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, somehow I once got around 5000kb/s .I'll cheer you up - never happened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToshiroHayate Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It's because their downloader doesn't have a cap on bandwidth so you can download at your real full speed. As Marsh stated. Alot of MMOs are doing it now. I went crazy when I hit 15,300kb myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, for example - try downloading WoW with the Blizzard updater, speed should be around 5mb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirsk8aton Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well that's good, considering WoW is fucking huge. And yeah, I didn't get the same speed when I downloaded something else. It just amazed me for seeing my computer download something that fast. Wish it always had that potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
