Yes , at long last broadband has finally snaked it's way up the hill to the village. As for the connection speed...well lets just say everyone who ordered the two meg connection is getting a refund. Still must not grumble the MAC codes were issued fairly quick so the villagers have released the local phone engineer from captivity and despite some reservations I have gone for the big american provider , the unlimited download swung it for me , Limewire here I come lol

Hey tansis, who are you using and how much are you paying a month?

I've been considering getting DSL for $15 a month.

Boy am I glad I have high-speed cable internet. Yesteday I downloaded 60MB of zipped 11 months of EPE magazine in a couple of minutes or less.
How long would it take with dial-up?

Well I'm on ISDN at 128kps and I downloaded the war of the worlds movie. The file size was 1.42 gig and it took 47 hours but I did notice at times I was getting 60 meg an hour. The worst part was the movie was total crap. :cry:

Someone Electro · 2nd November 2005, 05:31 AM

LOL

Yea i hate that wen i download a realy big file and then i find out its crap.

I have an 1Mbit ADSL conection.So downloading goes prety fast.

Il be probobly switching to VDSL from T2.

Durring my summer vacation I downloaded 40GB of The Simpsons (17. series) with my 256Kbit line :twisted:

It took me a while...

Someone Electro · 2nd November 2005, 06:58 AM

Wowey thats a lot of data.

I codnt download that becose i dont have enugh disk space. I have about 25GB of free spance on my 140GB drive.I donwloaded all kinds of stuff, so my harddrive is full of junk.

**Jay.slovak** · 2nd November 2005, 07:04 AM

It really is, I also have tons of other stuf (South-park, Futurama, many movies and music) so my 160GB HDD is always full

Someone Electro · 2nd November 2005, 07:10 AM

Good thing there are CDs and DVDs.

**Jay.slovak** · 2nd November 2005, 07:23 AM

I don't burn my things on CDs/DVDs, because I don't have a DVD burner and CDs are too small. And things get updated so quickly that I would have to re-burn it very often. And it is comfortable to just have it on HDD.

Someone Electro · 2nd November 2005, 07:34 AM

I burn things like games and useful stuff.For movies i watch them and then wen i start runing out of HDD space i delete them.

I got a DVD RW drive whith my PC.(A lot of modern games are on DVDs)

I have almost no original games. :lol:

A lot of guys come to me to burn them CDs.Becose most dont know where to download or dont have internet.

Yesterday I replaced my defective digital video recorder from my cable TV/internet provider co. It kept re-booting itself. The new recorder is faster and holds 60 2-hour very clear shows. Its instructions show how to connect an extenal HDD with USB. It keeps downloading stuff all by itself, like it is posessed. They said it downloads its TV-guide 1 week in advance and software updates (bug fixes?).
They said there is no way for me to get a new one because they are all re-furb's (I don't want someone else's problems).
Guess what! It is brand spanking new! :lol:

G'day Bryan,
I got 11 months of 2005 EPE magazines since the December one isn't out yet. The site I downloaded them from deleted them recently I guess because of copyright infringement. http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum...php?board=23.0

**Jay.slovak** · 2nd November 2005, 08:33 PM

That's the same reason why I had to delete Bryans request to you...
