Download Accelerators?

Damn! I wish I had access to broadband out here.

Sad thing is, that is slow. I usually top around 35Mb/s download.

That's usually average around here.

It's GTA4. It's 16 GB's! What do you expect? For them to be done in the hour? Ever heard of patience? I've waiting more than 2 days for games sometimes downloading at 250 kb/s.

16GB is nothing, but then again not everyone has an internet connection like I do.

Even this is showing a little slower then usual right now.

Weird. But my Download is a lot less than yours but my upload is close...

[http://www.speedtest.net]
I wonder why...

Cause it is Comcast. I am supposed to have a 15Mb/s upload and a 45Mb/s download I have never seen above 35Mb/s download and 11.5Mb/s upload. I think it has more to do with limitations on the test server, cause when I use some, like the one in Olympia I can never top 14Mb/s download and 3Mb/s upload.

Ouch, that would be painful for me.

Yeah, mine used to be about half what i have. Comcast started raising our bill spontaneously. So i called them up and threatened to switch over to dish. So the guy doubled my net connection and decreased our price by 40 bucks.

Hurray for the power of complaining. I don't like comcast but its the best i can get here. You must have the extreme net plan or whatever its called. I don't need 50 down 20 up or whatever it is. 20 down 10 up is fine for me.

I did the same thing. I was going to cancel when Comcast started up the bandwidth choking again. I complained they denied at first that they where doing it, so I emailed then a bunch of news articles about the plan they announced. They slightly more then doubled my Upload and download for the same price.

I just finished downloading the entire Justice League series and it took 11 days. The download speed would range from 200 to 1 kbps and the file was 13 Gb. The reason it took so long was thanks to the horrible seed to leach ratio (that would be some where to start). Another solution might be trying to do one at a time instead.

It's the holidays, dun blame me for wanting to have a bit of fun. =( I'm just letting it go on oblivion now on it's own, it's gotten 6 percent in the last 3 hours. That's just a wee bit too long for my tastes =(

Just for curiosity, do you even know what your internet speed is? If not, go to this site.
http://www.speedtest.net/

339 ms, pretty sure that's bad o.o

.48 Mb/s download
.58 Mb/s upload

yes, i consider this good...

[http://www.speedtest.net]

EDIT: crap, looking at some other peoples speeds, i feel slow now...

I get fine speeds though. Uploading is poor, but I rarely upload so...

 

[Rusty Bucket]

There actually isn't a single post in this thread that's on topic. It's brilliant.

Fuck it, bask in my internet glory:

Cost wise? I don't know. I think it was somewhere around $50 a month or so.

Good lord 0.o
My ping is 60,
Down is 11Mb/s
up is 1.8 Mb/s
And I thought that was slow...

lol, my download is 5 Mb, but I dont have any ping in games, even when downloading stuff I can still play. So it seems that it doesnt mather much.
OT: 3 games in 2 days and one of them having 16Gb? Just wait!

 

[Jiggabyte]

Buy them on disc. As another sufferer of slow internets I know the pain. You've either got to learn to wait or learn to bypass it. If a game is over about 3GB I try to get it on disc now.
Download Accelerators won't help, I'm pretty sure. If they do, it'll be by such a small amount it won't really matter.

My net is only at this speed because I'm the only one using it at the moment. That's right, it's usually slower than this. D:

Oh and we are about to cap, so I'll have dial-up speed until the 9th of January. Good thing I have all four Metal Gear Solid games to play through.

it sucks, but its pretty average around here. oh well.

Are you pirating or just using a paid download client.

For pirating get better seeders, for the client, get faster internet.
