See if anyone can beat this...

I've just discovered the wonders of BitTorrent.  Let's see who can top my bandwidth throughput.

Not the windows thing, but should lay waste to yours!!!! *hint* add the 2 upload totals together, divide by 4 (how many days it took to accomplish it!)

Eh.  Stupid university has blocked P2P stuff including BitTorrent.  I get about 3kb/s...max...on a good day.

heh, yeah. Bittorrent was great last winter/spring but now its just a bunch of leechers using shadow's or other clients that can throttle the upload. One program used to even allow you to upload NOTHING. It used to be that within 5 minutes, I'd be getting files at 400KB/sec, now I'm lucky to push 50KB/sec after hours. Dunno, maybe it still does work great for a majority of users and I'm having some problem on my end.

Its still a decent program though. I can't beat your bandwidth any longer but a couple years ago I was able to hit some limit in windows a couple times a week. For some reason windows would reset the bandwidth counters after ~40GB. With typical uptimes of 20-30 days between reboots, I wish it would have kept on counting :grinno:

Thinking about it, its about time for another restart

My upload was about 3000MB-35000MB daily when i had my dance ftp server running.  Pretty much maxed out my lines and my ISP wasnt too happy about that so i had to shut down the server.  Now concider my upload bandwidth was about 356Kb and my download was 3Mb,  When i would go binge downloading with the server on... I could clock in a good 15GB a day.  And to think my modem light never stops blinking now... back then Im surprised i didnt pop the LED.

i average about 250 KiB/sec download and upload speed off bittorrent. I have the highest possible residential Cable connection at home. Costs around $80 per month for my internet.

I had that comcast high speed internet. It was brand new and we were the onlyones in the area with it. I could hit 400kps on my 75 mhz 95 computer. max was about 4 to 5 mbps continuous for about 2 weeks.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

awww yes, it was nice when we originally signed up for @home years ago - having uncapped speeds for awhile until they got around to creating our account and down to 3mbit/128kbit it was...later to increase $20/month and be dropped to 1.5mbit/128kbit speeds when @home went under
