downloading too fast?

I'm downloading videos at 2+megs/sec. I hope I'm not sucking all the bandwidth of the servers. Should I limit the download rate?

No, just be grateful you have a fast connection. I average 1-2kbs per second.

hehe, sry. Just didn't want to kill the servers seeing as it's funded by donations.

Well, you are possibly one of the nicest people in the world as 99% of people couldn't care less

Don't worry, the server has a lot of bandwidth to play with and won't let you break it or anything. Enjoy your fast speeds! I know I do 8)

Hey hozodady,

It depends on if you mean mega-bits per second or mega-bytes per second. There is an 8-fold difference in speed. I routinely download at 2.8 mega-bits per second (Mbps) which is around .350 mega-bytes per second (MBps). If you downloading at 2+MBps, your downloads are probably done so fast that the rest of us don't notice the bump.

Phade.

Hey,

Wow! A 50M video file should take you about 25 seconds to download at 2MBps. Nobody is going to really notice. ^_^

Phade.
