i just reached a historic mark in peer to peer downloading.
1MB/s download!!!!

remember when napster first came out, we were happy when it reached 4Kb/s, downloading 1 song took all night

wow, i just downloaded a 3 cd set, what i already own, in less than 5 minutes

does anyone get better download speeds?

I did that shit all the time when I was on campus.

I got 1 MB/s downloading the RUSE beta on steam.

i aint trolling,
short of people who spend all day pirating movies, etc, the rest of us are not used to this.

You need to get off DSL, bro.

3/16/2010 1:02:46 AM

hope it was worth 3 minutes of downloading

3/16/2010 1:05:06 AM

What are you using for P2P?

3/16/2010 1:05:56 AM

bitTorrent

3/16/2010 1:08:05 AM

Thank God.

3/16/2010 1:08:58 AM

haha, what did you expect. AOL p2p?

3/16/2010 1:10:33 AM

KaZaa!
Morpheus!
Shareaza!
Limewire!

3/16/2010 1:12:46 AM

I thought you were going to say Kazaa.

3/16/2010 1:12:48 AM

I left Kazaa after several viruses.

3/16/2010 1:19:34 AM

so far this download is disappointing. hearing Korn, freak on a leash, is pissing me off

3/16/2010 1:21:17 AM

^double post fail and it took you three fuckin minutes

3/16/2010 1:21:49 AM

i want my 3 minutes back, although im only half way through the 1 CD so there's still time

3/16/2010 1:22:39 AM

ALkatraz how is the RUSE beta? I downloaded it but haven't been able to pull away from BC2.

Not the best WWII RTS that is out there.

I think that the easy enemy is a bit tough. I only played a couple times and get rocked. I can't progress through the battle long enough to get a good picture of what's going on.

psst that ain't shit

3/16/2010 9:36:09 AM

thank you for posting this in chit chat and not tech talk.

He acts like that's something wild... I've been getting 1.5 a second regularly on plain old Road Runner for months now.

You can download a text file of all the redbox titles in like 30 seconds

3/16/2010 10:39:23 AM

I routinely get ~1.5MB/s on newsgroups, and have for quite a while.

3/16/2010 10:47:57 AM

lafta is gonna flip in five years when he finally discovers 2 MB/s.

3/16/2010 12:00:59 PM

all the music I download is too obscure for those speeds.

no, we were happy when it broke 9000!!!

no really over 800kb/s was something nice to see... 1mb/s+ was not uncommon, where did you live siberia?

3/16/2010 3:31:29 PM

^when was this? your post is confusing

3/16/2010 3:59:16 PM

that is confusing to me too.

i never used bit torrent bc i am still mentally damaged from the kazaa/limewire nightmares

3/16/2010 4:10:16 PM

i used to fix PC's and i loved limewire/kazaa for all the virus cleaning business it gave me
