Also depends on the speed the drive can write the data

tempted to try 50Mb as a newsgroup user, and then maybe cancel after one year if STM is brought in (although ATM my newsgroup useage stops/starts because it is downloading faster then can be written to disc) - might need new computer methinks

I think you people need to join better torrent sites if you cant get maxed out? i happily pull 10MB/s on most torrents.

Since when? unless you are paying to get that speed there is not a free torrent site out there that will give you what you say.

With regards to 50mb, from what I have seen with my 20mb not even the vast majority of streaming sites can keep up and these are low quality wait for full HD streaming it will pause all the time to buffer and its not down to slow internet speeds its down to the provider not being able to send the information across quick enough.

I wouldn't waste my money on 50mb until it is more widely support by out side sources

There is plenty, even TL seeders give out those sort of speeds.

Many european sites like hdbits can give out 10+Mbit speeds.

ScT you can get those speeds, if your on sites like demonoid, bitmetv etc then you should expect slow speeds.

This is a myth, most sources can easily handle streaming on a 20Mbit connection, most of the time it is down to poor routing if it cannot, get to better sites?

Infact.

What kind of connection are you ON?! I'd kill (as in genocide) for that kind of upload. Max I get at the university off-peak is about 5MB/sec.

100Mbit Sysmetrical.

I max out at 11.2MB/s both ways.

And for people who thinks its just a random speed burst that will drop.

Well, if 10meg gets put onto Docsis2+ as well then VM's network will not only benefit from improved infrastructure but also less bandwidth raping by cloners. This place could be significantly quieter in future

Roll on 2009.
