[quote][i]Originally posted by Cybermonkey[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Tim[/i] 256k[b]bits[/b]ps is only 32k[b]bytes[/b]/s - FACT... The fact that you get unrestricted access to a mirror server might be a service specific to the ISP... ISP's quote their speeds in bits per second. There are 8 bits in one byte... so 512kbps gives 64k/s, 1mbit gives 128k/s and 2mbit gives 256k/s... 8mbit will give 1024k/s, which is 1mb/s... It's not really confusing, it's just divide all the numbers by 8... Just the same way harddrive manufacturers say that a megabyte is 1000k in order to make their harddrives sound bigger than they are -- this contributes to the reason your computer reports a 250gb drive as ~230gb (as Windows counts 1024k as a megabyte)... [Edited on 22-02-2005 by Tim] [/quote] then how do you figure out whats going on with my connection? Its not only this special mirror site (which is esecpially for aussies ISP's), but there are loads and loads of sites where i can download at 1mb/sec on a 256kbps line. I once got 2.5mb/sec for a 300mb file, over the same connection :| [/quote]
