Yeah what he is saying is that he is downloading a whole season of 24 wich are typically 6.5gb, so what he is saying is that he’s wife downloaded around 145mb instead of 15mb! Which even I must say is impressive!

Hell I hit my max speed on my 1.5 downlink for a while at times, but that’s reasonably rare because of the distances involved normally.

And maybe he discovered Rodney MacKay’s compression codec from Stargate: Atlantis. That had some pretty amazing compression on it supposedly. ;-) About the only way my downloads could be 50X faster, even right now I’m getting just under half my max speed on a download.

[quote comment="192875"]It’s acturally not true saying that North Amercia’s avg internet connection’s slower than china’s. Although you just find isps providing up to 25mb/s dl max. In china it’s common for isps to lie about the connetion. I know this because i tried the connections in china when i was on vacation there. My friend told me he had a 100mb/s connection, but it turned out i can’t even dl anything faster than 50kb/s(http). The thing he’s talking about is like youtube, but diffrent(it’s a program that requires installing). There’s several of these programs going around as a fad in china such as pplive,ppstream,etc. They DO NOT produce dvd quality streaming videos. INFACT it’s so crappy that it looks even worse than 60mb rmvb files(these 60mb rmvb files looks preety clean even if it’s 60mb). I can only imagine that they made the videos so crappy that the original resolution is probably 320×168 or something like that-.-. When it was in full screen mode it was blurry as hell.[/quote]

Not exaxtly lying…. The ISPs sometimes don’t mention the distance factor.

I live in Japan and have a 50 Mbps line, but I can only download at maximum speed of 2.5-3 Mbps because my home is 4 KM away from the nearest data center.

Actually Chinese lines aren’t as fully functional as American lines. If you want to discuss who has the fastest line on record, I strongly suggest you research the 40GB/s line in Sweden.[/quote]

In Japan and Korea, you can have 50mb/s or even 100 mb/s lines for about 70 USD/months.

Oh BTW, it’s not 40GB/s, it;s actually 40 Gb/s—- as in gigaBITS

Exactly! In fact, he refers to is as “progressive downloads.” He further clarifies, “They’re not exchanging anything, what they’re doing is watching pirated videos.”

The author of this article is comparing apples and oranges.

[quote comment="188938"]Actually, there is something faster then bit-torrent, which is, bittorent on a chinese connections. Apperently this guy forgets that China broadband is like 50 times faster then USA broadband, which in turn, makes bittorent faster. Wouldn’t it, the faster someone can upload to you the faster you can download something from BT[/quote]

I agree the above words that I am a Chinese and I had experienced a download speed of over 3MB/s with using BitTorrent in China. That means I can download 180MB in one minute, and people can download a 700MB file with only take 4 minutes or less if it has enough seeds and dowloaders.

wait but doesn’t bittorrent download the pieces of a torrent randomly? so streaming on bittorrent isn’t really ideal. even vuze has a streaming service IIRC. but if you’re STREAMING dvd quality VIDEO, then that means that if you are actually downloading(which would be stupid if you’re streaming the thing) then it would have to download piece by piece making it more ideal for video and MP3′s too probably. however for apps and games it’s pointless.

lol guys, he says its 50 times faster because his wife could start watching the film after 2% was done, compared to bittorrent where you have to download 100% percent before you can start watching the movie.(excuse my bad grammar but i think i made my point.)

You’r all way to obsessed with kb/s (or in som cases MB/s ;p) to see what this guy is realy saying.

What he’s just trying to say is that downloading 2% at steady speed is 50x faster then downloading 100% at the same speed (like if you max your connection) Wich really is kinda obvious.

In other words instead of waiting 50 min for a torrent to finish (don’t focus on the number, i bet some of you will claim to be able to download dvd’s in secounds….) do you only need to wait 1 min and the rest will stream while you watch.

Basicly what he’s talking about is P2P streaming….

Agreed that bit torrent is efficient and likely no difference in the protocol. But anyone every considered the difference in seeders? (hit 2MB+/sec (from within china (shanghai))) ; )

100 million potential seeders == potentially dead hard drives ; )

haha, agree with you martin. a very serious lan party

If you really want speed, just move to Japan. Kind of expensive living there, but I’ve heard from a few sources, including friends who went there, that you can get up to 100GB/s fiber-in-the-house connections. Japan even made the news a little while back when a business strung multiple fiber-optic cables between it’s two main sites and managed 1TB/s transfers between them.

Average connection speed in China is about 256 k down / 128 k up. (yea, the top is 8meg, but it is not for sale. Highest available down is 256k at least in my living area (Jing An)

The market is dominated by large state connection enterprises, the prices are expensive and outside china connection horrible due to the great firewall.

General population can reach 25k /s down-up on bittorrent from abroad.

If one downs from the fastest _local_ sources, the top is about 180k /s.

I frequently hit 150-300kb/s on popular torrents, but occasionally I’ve gone as high as 650kb/s.

This is from a FIOS connection going from a wireless router, through a wireless booster, to the computer (using utorrent). I have an old booster that maxes at only half the DL bandwidth my connection offers, but since I’m not the only computer on the network, that’s a good thing

I live i Belgium and have an internetconnection with 20Mb speed. Using usenet, it only takes me 5 to 6 min to download an episode of a serie (350Mb). BT however is really slow, only speeds up to 80kb or even less. And with usenet I’m not wasting bandwidth on uploading when I don’t want to, can’t say that of BT

someone previously said it’s possible to sail around the world before Columbus, or go to the moon before there was NASA, or have 100Mb LAN before there was the Gigabit ethernet. i’m sure that someone got the same flak from people like the majority, the masses, those who are too afraid to think there might be something better out there and that other people might end up getting the better stuff before they do. you probably weren’t around in the days when the nearest thing to P2P was dial-up to a BBS. it’s kinda irritating to people like us who actually know someting to hear people like you saying stuff as if you actually knew what were talking about.

I live in China (Beijing) and our ADSL speeds are not particularly fast at all. You might be confusing China with Japan and Korea which in fact do have much higher speed broadband than the US. The top speed ADSL available in Beijing is 2M for about $23 per month.
