Ouch M&M

im insulted !!! but i guess ur right
but i dont think it matters that much ,ur sig is already small

.by the time i readur post the sig wold have loaded up

(unless its already in the temp files which i rarely remove to save on bandwith)
i have found that win xp is much faster and im gonna upgrade to it soon ,i already have it installed but its a little buggy ,a reinstall would prolly fix it .
i managed to get a similar score to this one with wn xp on the old site (cheetos's one)
www.testspeed.com/fast.html
so prolly this might get a little higher with xp

(i can only hope)

Dont go to this site!!!
www.testspeed.com/fast.html
I dont trust the site!!, It's wrong
Every time when I refresh, it gives always the same speed in 4 different numbers.
I checked the source of the site I found a very long script you cant read, many unknown signs
It looks like a hack or virus or something.
When I go to
www.testspeed.com you must first download something, a file (they said its for checking your speed) uh uh I think NOT
And look to the speed in the screenshot ^^^^ thats impossible.

M&M, you think your's is bad, check this out:
Communications: 31.9 kilobits per second
Storage: 3.9 kilobytes per second
1MB file download: 4.4 minutes
Subjective rating: Slow

almost the same !!
but for this test ,i started closing all the unnessary applications and stopped all browsing to get the max out of it

.so maybe thats y ?
on the testspped one i was still browsing this forum during the test (it was horribly long,so i got bored)

Well nothing else was using a connection so... Maybe I did it in the evening when everyone is on, I could try it a 4 am and maybe get better results.
For me I see no need in freeing up system resources to get the most, I mean it's not like the computer is recieving more data than it can process.

well,u can say its a desperate attempt to spped up my connection
ill do anything to speed the connection if it was possible

Yeah...
Sometimes I'll multi-task, I'll be browsing and while I'm waiting for a page to load, I'll do a bit of mapping or something. Sometimes I think I could make a small DM map while waiting for a page to load.

i got 2.6 megabits per second. is that good?

atomic, and all that readless stuff is actually commented out, it does absolutely nothing!
the actual script looks like this:
Code: Select all
time = new Date();
endtime = time.getTime();
elapsed = (endtime - starttime)/1000;
kbytes_of_data = 1000;
linespeed = kbytes_of_data/elapsed;
kbps = 0;
kbytes_sec = (Math.round((kbytes_of_data*10)/elapsed))/10;
kbits_sec = kbytes_sec * 8;
HAHAHAHAHA hardly a speed test imo.
