I need something very big to download,

I have 1.5mbit DSL, and I have downloaded anything I ever wanted....

VS7 beta
VS SP4
Platform SDK
Dx SDK
winamp
lots of songs from napster
a 50MB ADA compiler
WSFTP_LE
etc

I don't have anything left...

It's not nice to brag...besides that's Matthew Gate's job. You're the smart ass and he's the egoist.

I have a Verizon DSL line at home. I have had nothing but problems with it. They sent me a memo that there was new software for me to download (drivers & ****), I installed them, and know it is running even slower!!! I hate Verizon!!! I try to call them, but they are ALWAYS busy!! My old 56K modem moves faster than this DSL line at times. I go to Microsoft's web site to try to do the speed test, but all I get is 6K / second download!!!

I am going to cancel my service and get a cable modem.

I have heard bad stories about verizon...

I have also heard bad stories about mindspring(what I am using now) but mindspring is working great... awesome ~70k downloads... it's great....

**JPRoy392** · Nov 9th, 2000, 03:30 PM

Nov 9th, 2000, 03:36 PM

thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!!!!1

**barrk** · Nov 9th, 2000, 03:44 PM

See us old broads aren't so bad after all....right?

Nov 9th, 2000, 03:50 PM

wow,
I downloaded visual studio 6 service pack 4 in less than 15 minutes...
it's a 130 mb download...

Nov 9th, 2000, 04:35 PM

come on people... I need some stuff to download.. these puny download.com <10mb files are too small....

BTW, a few seconds ago, my connection reached 500k!!!

**CyberSurfer** · Nov 9th, 2000, 04:41 PM

Try Corel Linux, all 370 Mbs of it...

http://linux.corel.com

Sorry to make you feel bad, but the satellite link we have at college is like 300Kbps or something!

20Mb in about 30 seconds....

hehe!

Nov 9th, 2000, 04:45 PM

I don't feel bad,
because first of all, you said "at our college" which obviously means you don't live there, so I have very fast DSL which currently peaked at 500, and you don't...

and at school, they have a T1, which has peeked at about 700 before... so

thanks for the link BTW....

Nov 9th, 2000, 04:50 PM

Ok, I got about an hour left for that one...

any more?

**Cybrg641** · Nov 9th, 2000, 04:57 PM

hey Dennis, why are you so eager to fill up your hard drive by downloading such big files?

Nov 9th, 2000, 05:09 PM

It's not that I wanna fill my hard drive up,
it's just i Like seeing the text that says "150KBps" then it says "200KBps" etc...

**Edwin_Drood_1870** · Nov 9th, 2000, 05:14 PM

I don't know about all you, but I have used T3 before.

Nov 9th, 2000, 05:21 PM

Never used one... I want to though....

T1's are hella-fast, T3's would be *Dennis can't continue to talk because of the drool that is coming out of his mouth*

well, actually what i want most is a T5 *Heavenly light shines down on Dennis*

*drool*

**Iain17** · Nov 9th, 2000, 06:28 PM

Forget the corel linux, go for the full 650mb of red hat

**Edwin_Drood_1870** · Nov 9th, 2000, 06:31 PM

Make note of the "have used." What I have at home runs at about 888 bytes.

Nov 9th, 2000, 06:33 PM

I thought redhat was commercial you-have-to-pay-for-it software???

**HarryW** · Nov 9th, 2000, 07:08 PM

They can't make you pay for it, it's open source. They charge for some of the utilities they develop for it, for documentation, and for postage and packaging. They don't own the copyright to the OS itself, so they can't charge for just the OS.

barrk-
Once again, thank you. I tried re-doing my registry (like that tweeking page told me to). That didn't help. This morning I am online (6:07 am EST) and my DSL is rocking. I went back to that test page and now it is saying everyting is healthy. I believe that traffic in northern NJ is a problem. Once again, thanks.

Jim

I am paying $50 a month for 1.5Mbps, it's ADSL, so my upspeed is only 128Kb....

but very strangely, I have still had people recieve **** from me at like 50KB
