i had dial-up (really slow), now i have T1 connection. what i didn't like then was the selfish sharers that wouldn't give me the time to get something downloaded. all the thousands of songs i have aren't worth a pisshole in snow if i'm not on.
even tho in my searches i pick the fastest connections T3 or T1 they can still run slow(1,2,3 kbs). for my setup the normal range is around 15-25kbs DL from one host T1 or T3 connection for one song.
the reason is because they allow too many uploads at a time. even tho i can only DL 3 at a time, they are allowing too many total UL.
the people that need to be banned are the ones that WON'T set up their tools properly!
p.s. anyone who has dial-up send me a PM i'll find something you'll like, and i'll leave the light on for ya.
