The Wasteland - ACT Style

[Shell]

nice rant 8/10 !!

i knew ghost rider would be shit, good to see you confirmed it..

the last time I went to the movies was to see Casino Royale (was gonna be Borat but finished dinner quicker than expected)... before that I can't even remember but it would have been at least a year or more.

I agree with your rant Beau, and also personally I'd rather be comfy on the couch with a glass of wine, than in a movie theatre

Thanks Shell But only 8/10?! what happened to you shell? you used to be cool...

Ofcourse at home you dont have a massive screen and uber speakers, but you get to finish the movie without wanting to punch someones lights out.

P.S. Love the new avvy

Loving my new Adsl2+ connection

Just a quick question... I've setup port forward and unblocka and just wondering if these speeds are decent via torrents (Azureus FTW)

was downloading with 7 seeders and was getting around 60kB/s

then went up to 9 seeders and between 100kB/s and 120kB/s

now, for me this speed is orgasmic because my torrent download speed is normally (on 256 adsl) 25kB/s at its peak! so im not complaining... but im just wondering if this is decent for an adsl2+ connection?

Are you on the 24mb down, 1mb up ???

If so those speeds are pretty average i don't know much about torrents but in theory you should be able to download at a much faster rate than that. Make sure that your router has all the required ports open as well as your desktop firewall if you use one. Then again you could just have some slow seeds.

I only have a 1.5mb down / 256kb up and i can download at around 155kbps

[low200]

Yeh i have 1mb transact and i hit 80kb on a good torrent.

[Sauce]

Not sure about that. I dunno about ADSL2, but on my shithouse 1mb cable connection I can get the same speeds you're talking about and I was under the impression that dsl2 was a shite sight faster...

[race_snooze]

depends on line distance as to what you will get at the house. I am on the 24mb and 1 up and I am only getting 10mb download simulated and 800 up. Torrent I can get anything from 5k to ???? depending on the amount of seeders.

[leech_]

And that Sir is why I hate torrents I am too impatient to wait for it to possibly pick up in speed and whenever I opened up the ports required to allow it to go quick my pc got smashed with attacks. Luckily my desktop firewall client stopped them all but it still just made me a little uneasy

Torrent I can get anything from 5k to ???? depending on the amount of seeders.

[race_snooze]

lol, I never seem to get any real high rated attacks but hey.... Sometimes its worth it. I have seen it download of some sites near 2Mb per second

[SKYLVIA]

well ive setup portforward and unblocka... is there anything else i need to do?

im currently downloading scarface for PS2 and its at 25kB/s-30kB/s on 9 seeders... WTF!? this adsl2+ better start getting some awesome download speeds or im downgrading to 1.5mb

[low200]

how far from your exchange are you Beau? Further away you are the slower your speeds.

[leech_]

Go to microsoft.com find a sizeable download eg 50mb + and start downloading it. Tell us how quick it's going. I will put money on it's just a dodgy torrent issue nothing to do with your ADSL 2+ (you probably wont be getting the 24mb but you will at least be getting 14mb+
