endofreak Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 104kb/sec sounds about right for a 1mb connection. As for the 48kb/sec download rate, the video is probably hosted on a slow server?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 You max downloading speed should be around 100/120 kbps. If you on a 1mb line, it doesn't mean you will download at 1mb. I forgot what the actually mb is, I think it's just the data flow. I'm not sure though. I'm on 512k (half a mb) and I can only download at 50/60kbps 100kbps is right (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 The thing is a 1mbit connection isnt a 1 megaBYTE per second connection - its a 1 megabit. So its actually a lot slower than 1 megabyte a second! You'll hit about 120k/sec max with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameer Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 It's generally your megaBIT number divided by 8 to get your max'ish speed. So 1000/8 = 125kb/s download rates. And as has been said, the server is obviously a big influence on the speeds, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
