I reckon the first thing I'm going to ask when I'm looking round universities is "what speed can I download stuff at?" Also, what exactly is JANET? I found this: "JANET is the UK's education and research network. It is a private, government funded network." so it's basically a network between educational institutes to provide high-speed net access?
Pfh JANET is old you want Super JANET. A freind of mine set up an ftp site on a PC at a Cambridge College and ended up racking up over 200GB of transfer that night. But JANET/Super JANET is fast. 10 GBPS some of the links are.
I'm home schooled! My house is an Education Insitution! I demand you connect me to Super JANET right now!
Sod super Janet and Janet, just get Level3, Mistral, Abovenet, and whoever else to run feeds into your brain that would be the best thing. Hopefully we will all soon evolve with RJ45 connectors behind our ears
I graduated from there last year, didn't stay in the halls or that, so I can't really comment. I now work for another University in Glasgow, with JANet piped into my desk, which is nice.
I've pulled ~500K/s at my school, I was using DAP to download some 3d-model, nothing good If I could find some way around that damn filter I could have some real fun.
Bah, you're all very lucky... my school's internet sucks, and for some stupid reason they pay > $200 a month for it (1-way, 256k down satilite). My $50 a month ADSL is better in every way.
Work is ace if I go in on a sunday. Usually during the week a "net view" command will scroll for about 20 seconds. Do it on a sunday and about 200 computers will show up, most servers, and a few "leave on's" Get some fabulous speeds, will try doing a screenie next time. Usually starts a bit slow then just fires accross
I thought you would have gotten better down there in NM. Assuming that's a university connection and not a public library connection. My university connection was awsome, 100Mbit/s. I downloaded some drivers at 6MB/s from Creative.com. That was my top speed, I orgasmed seeing those numbers .
How did you manage that as creatives website is like HP's your lucky if you can download bugger all from them.
<off topic> Phat: You should change your little title from BigGut Mod to "I am the queen of France" (to go with the Avatar) </off topic>
ive sent friends tv show DVD's from loughborough uni to nottingham uni, at about 13-15mb/s i swear if u blink u miss it.
Que? You've just TOTALLY lost me there! (if its something to do with some old French Queen, my french history sucxious)
You do realise where you avatar is from right? The animation called "Rejected"... the dude waving his arms says "I am the queen of France" when he sticks the other dudes stomach on his head and waves his arms about. In fact I think I may have the vid hosted on my site *checks*, yep I do, clicky: http://www.hamleshmotah.com/html/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=28
when i was at uni i managed 3MB/s from the asus web site. made me smile. then they goto wifi so out came pringles can, but i was just that little bit too far away to get a decent signal :\ some lucky sods in different halls next to the wifi spot where downloading 24/7 :\
You could have bought yourself a nice 12dBi yagi / parabolic antenna for about £30 Free internet for life/a year/whatever for £30
