I get like 1.7 MB on most downloads. Around 1MB Upload, 60 or so ping. Road Runner.
that cant be possible.
your net speed isnt the only thing determining your downloads.
every different website, every different game, every differnt peer you connect to on a network;
they all have different internet speeds that affect your download. and they all have traffic that affects their bandwidth at any certain time.
and most EVERY website and game limits per user how much bandwidth they are even allowed to use.
say i have a 20mbit connection. thats equal to a max download rate for a single file, at 2.5mb per second.
or 2.5mb total for multiple files.
this does not mean you can just come to blockland.us and download the game at 2.5mb.
if everyone had no limits, the website would just go down.
