Which could download more..
Ok I'm sure someone here maybe able to do the maths..
Over a 12 hour period say 12 noon until 12 midnight which could download the most.A £27.50 a month Virginmedia 30Mb connection or a £7.50 a month Sky ADSL connection running at around 14Mb/s.
The sky connection is completely unmanaged the VM would hit management.

Re: Which could download more..
Assuming you're downloading at full speed, you'd be able to download 50% more on Sky.

Re: Which could download more..
Yeah I guess you'd need both running max speed to know for sure.
Here is my 50Mb current speed and it will be like this until around midnight, same every single evening from 6pm till after midnight.
Still I canceled today so just 30 days to go.

Re: Which could download more..
ISn't the Sky system contended and so speeds would self throttle as everyone else piles in?>

Re: Which could download more..
I was on UKOnline a few years back who ran on the same infrastructure as Sky but have since been closed down. There was never any visible contention.
They hacked me off on pricing (new customers £5 less and no reductions for existing) and wouldn't let me leave early despite some issues with their IWF filter blocking several file lockers entirely. I tied to get kicked off and ran the http://www.majestic12.co.uk/ crawler flat out for 3 months until my contract was up. That used terabytes a month and they never batter an eye and neither did it slow down.
I've heard that Sky don't have any noticeable contention either and suspect it's true.

Yikes.
Though I'm tempted to try run that on a farm of 10-gig servers just for some extreme e-peen.

Yeah I checked the Sky forums before I signed up to Sky, it seems 95% of people with issues are on "Sky Connect" which is a BT IP Stream service.
That's like being on Virginmedia's ADSL service. The full unbundled Sky unlimited service is what I am on which is on Sky's 100Gb fibre backbone
The old UK-Online infrastructure but massively expanded and not contended when compared to Virginmedia's contention issues.[COLOR="Silver"]

Only just saw this.
The project is run by somebody I met up with on a forum in a different life. His dream is to produce a community search engine where all the crawling (information gathering) is done by volunteers on their own connections rather than as a commercial enterprise which can control search results for its own ends.
IMO it's a laudable aim but I don't believe it can ever actually succeed. It's been running years now and last time I looked there was no viable search engine although it has indexed vast numbers of URL.

Re: Which could download more..
so your connection continues to max out with that running?
you say its a search engine yet it hasnt really taken off so how does your line max out.. is it the way its programed.. to leech onto all your available bandwidth ?
