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
System Up Time: 23 Days, 10 Hours, 23 Minutes, 59 Seconds
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.
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
