Go for it! We have a DS3 at work, and a guy there has been stress testing the download, and I've been working on the upload. Both are mighty impressive...
 
I got your dethrone right here.

That was downloading the mandrake iso's from University of B-lo. They're on the same backbone as RIT.

A-Boo-Yah

😀
 
Eat this. I used to upload and download over 2.3TB/month from my school. Then they got really mad and started BW limiting! Bastards!

Were you one of the notorious 6 from Purdue?

 
what is actually an ISO?

It's an image of a CD. It basically zips up all the files on a CD, along with the directory structure and data architecture, as a single file which can then be transfered. Burning programs like nero, cdrwin and others allow you to burn cd images and you end up with a duplicate of the original CD.

Small potatoes my friend. The servers on this campus that got shut down by the FBI were doing about 100 times that.
 
I once downloaded a quicktime movie at about 25 MB/s... It was cached 😀

Usually my D/L speed is only about 300-350 KB/s on my cable connection 🙁 😉

It's a standard for images. Sort of like zipping, but no compression if I'm thinking clearly. In terms of warez, it means the entire CD image, meaning you can burn it back with most any CDR software and have an exact duplicate of the original. Most CDR software has built in ISO image capabilities, whether you want to create or burn. That is the gist of it anyways.

You are not "dethroning" anybody. TheOmegaCode fellow is twice as fast as you.

Cheers,

Actually, did you dethrone? Your pic says 4,146 kb/s, but that's only 518 kB/s. TOC's speed was 1MB/s, or 8Mb/s, or does your download program misuse the lowercase b versus the uppercase B?

Yup, LeechFTP was written by a German I think? There's some small language type issues throughout the program. But I've used it for years and it is 'KB/s' not 'Kb/s' I probably should have noted that.

So, once again:
