Has anyone heard of Rocketstream? Tried it? Know about it? I am not some company schmuck trying to plug for some free advertising here. I'm just not happy with the amount of time it takes to download a movie from any source and I came across this company Rocketstream and I have never heard of it before nor have I heard it mentioned anywhere. I am planning on downloading their free software and am also curious if anyone else has and if they have tested the speed. I found one board where the guy was raving about it, but he could have been working for the company. I'd like some independant opinion. Supposed to be like way faster than FTP or any torrent. Thanks in advance.

What is RocketStream?
RocketStream is a communications platform providing accelerated delivery of content over any IP network. RocketStream?s current products provide for the secure and reliable delivery of large files over high-speed networks operating 10-200 times faster than traditional FTP. The product suite consists of six products: RocketStream Uplink Express, Uplink Pro, Station Express, Station Pro, Server Pro, and Station Free.

How does RocketStream work?
RocketStream leverages its proprietary transports to overcome the performance limitations of TCP when operating over high-speed connections with measurable latency. In addition to performance benefits, RocketStream also provides enhanced delivery services including real-time payload encryption, compression, and verification. Over adequate bandwidth with measurable latency, RocketStream can usually outperform technologies such as FTP by at least a factor of 10, and sometimes as much as a factor of 200.

Just seems like an FTP app that uses compressions and perhaps caching.

Big deal.

*fart noise*

Actually, it sounds like they're using some custom network protocol (probably via UDP/IP, but maybe even using something custom on top of IP). TCP can eat up a significant amount of bandwidth with overhead, since you're normally limited to 1500-byte packets. And everything has to be acknowledged, which kinda can suck over a high-latency connection. FTP in particular is really geared more for LAN use, so beating it by a big factor on a high-latency network isn't that impressive. Of course, most Internet routers won't forward packets bigger than 1500 bytes from 'normal' hosts, so I doubt this would help an average home user much. It looks like it is geared more towards leased-line use for corporate data.

OP has about a 90% chance of being a shill of some sort.

Well where's this other board you found this guy raving about it on?

Sorry, been babysittin.

It was on ragingbull which is a stock site so I was skeptical. If you look it up look for hey-joe12312. He claims to have tested it between two of his own computers. He sounds like he knows computers...he knew what a 3Ware 9550 is. Anyway...sounds like it's nothing to get excited about.

Thanks for the reply.

So, you bought into ZROS (Zero's and One's, RocketStream) and now you're trying to get more people to look at it?

Wrong again...God nothing but pessimists.

How is that wrong?

I linked to a stock site which you suggest that others invest in it. Tell me where I'm wrong.

Read what you linked to moron. The link you provided was to a swing I made in SWEB. Same thread, different stock. That's where you're wrong. I have followed the stock, yes. Do I tell people to buy it, no. Who the hell am I to tell someone to buy a stock, let alone get on here with the same name which any moron can google and come up with elitetrader. I post on the Explosives and Weapons forum too, but use a different name.
I have a legitamate question. You pidgeonhole me as a P&Der so blow me. Thor86 is still the only credible response I got. And I've got 4GB of OCZ on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe with 2 (two) e-GeForce 7950 GT KOs so blow me again.
