Default Torrents problem


I am trying to download a 1.5 GB file. From Megaupload (where i hold a premium account), it takes about 10 minutes.....

Problem is I couldn't find it on megaupload.....but found a torrent for it.

But via torrents (BitTorrent), it's telling me 1 week 2 days? Is there something
I'm missing or what?

Torrents are painfully slow, is that it?

Torrent is a P2P client.Means ur download will depend on number of Seeds,Peers & Leechers you are getting.

Try this trick, may help you:

Your ports may be closed. Do a connection test if your software supports it. It should be somewhere in tools, usually :-P

Tell me something guys.........how does it make any of you a difference
if I live in Brooklyn or not, if I have a 150Mbps connection or not, and
whether Digit is sold in Brooklyn or not?

I asked a question, got the answer. Now move on and get a life.

I don't mean to offend my country by any means, but just because you
are used to the ways of a third world country offering dial up connections
to the internet, doesn't mean you assume the rest of the world to be
like that.

First up, ask your pop do shell out some serious bucks to get here. Then
try to get into a good university in a good course, and see for yourself
how fast the internet is. (I don't think any of you will be able to do so
in the ten next generations of yours)

why I went off a bit.

And by the way, I'm not a dude, like it or not.

Oh.....just a stupid user name....couldn't think of anything better while signing up. Is there a way to change it? I'm not aware.

And can you tell me which posts of mine have had bad manners? I would love to take a look and see if there's something I need to rectify.

Post Re: Torrents problem

For those of you who were doubting our university connection:

Here I am downloading the latest JDeveloper 10g version:




It's slow right now since there are too many folks connecting to our tutorial server, otherwise the speed hits close to 17 or 18 MB/s.

If you have further doubts regarding that, send me the url of a LEGAL file of say 100MB size, and I'll show you.

I spoke to Shantanu, and am already minding it. But why did you stray in into this thread
for absolutely no reason, when you have no business here?

Just to show people that you can quote a reply and type? Well done, bravo.

And looks like that screenshot is becoming a little hard to digest for some!

We dint doubt your speeds.I heard someone has set up a 40gbps connection for his mother in Sweden and 10-20mbps is very common in Europe and USA.
AND yes we are very much happy with our 256kbps\2mbps connections.

Look TDH, you and I have had our problems from the day I joined this place.

Everytime I post, you have to comment something, and it usually isn't the
nicest comment around.

Tell me, what do we have going on that we always end up this way?
I remember I once asked you to stay out of my posts etc., but even then
you couldn't keep that small request.

Do you really have to come around like this? or will you leave me alone
once and for all?

And btw, that was not a 20Mbps connection, it was 8.1 MBps (= 64.8 Mbps).
Our full capacity is 145Mbps TL.

Our corporate Lan is a 1Gbps EP link. I'll sit at those terminals one day, surely,
and will post screenshots here.
