Click on the "test your speed using our server in Miami" (it should highlight in red) & scroll down the page a fraction... there's a "start test" button.

I dont see the button, and I dont feel like going to my browser or anything like that this late, but I paid for 6mbps Cable so what should my LW speed be?

birdy August 10th, 2006 08:21 PM

As far as I know.... T3

Spookster23 August 10th, 2006 08:24 PM

Well thats what they advertise here, but my usual speeds are.. here ile download a 10,000 kb Video file..


Speed is.. 107 kb/s so what would that be?

birdy August 10th, 2006 08:34 PM

107 kb/s is 13 KB/s... are you sure you haven't got the bits & bytes mixed up?

My connection is "up to 8000 kb/s" (which is up to 8mbps) & I can download at almost 200 KB/s.

My LW shows downloads in KB/s... if you're really seeing kb/s then I think there's something really wrong with your connection:o
Grandpa... do you want to come in here...

I think you are a little mixed up as birdy says 8000kb/s notice the small (kb/s) would equal 100KB/s notice the capitol (KB/s) LimeWire reports your DL speed in (KB/s) 6mbps would equal about 750KB/s I see you are DL a single file at 200 KB/s that is about as good as you can do on a single file unless you get lucky and get a couple of really good host (T1, T3) that have allot of available bandwidth. You can probably reach your maximum capability if you were DL 4 or 5 files at a time.

My connection was just increased by my ISP at no charge and so far I haven't been able to max it out. I now have a line capable of DL at 1800 KB/s but I haven't been able to achieve that yet. But I will keep trying.:eek: :D
