What the heck? I'm on 6MB and I'm downloading two files... ones downloading at 530KB/s, the other at 400KB/s... that's 930KB/s which is 9MB isn't it?
The server your downloading off is what it depends on.
930kb/s is just under one meg I thought..
thats what i don't get about downloading
it says 8meg or whatever
but i can never download a file at 8,000kb/s..
or anything close to that lol
ino it's cos of servers and stuff and distance but stillllll
im not sure
probably wrong
Servers might not have the ability to offer 8mb downlaod speed, so.
But my download speed should be 600KB/s max... :S
There are Kilo Bytes and kilo bits I think, speed test shows kb and your d/l speed is KB.930kb/s is just under one meg I thought..

No, for each meg is around 100kb/s on a download. So and 8 meg speed would be around 750-800KB/s download. Easy mistake to make.
That went fast.
ahhhhhhh. i see now.
yeah, kb and KB mean the same to me. here we go again with the whole capitals doesn't make a difference, guess it does here lmao :8.
i get around 300-500kb/s max on rapidshare downloads and im on 8meg and get around 6meg so i'm not too fussed, it seems right for me..
i always thought that kb/s on download mean the same as d/l speed on speedtest and that lol
so when i was downloading and seen it be 300kb/s i thought i was getting sucky download speeds because my speedtest said 6000KB/s lmao
