2 questions about connection speeds

Hello,
First up: I've been using the same ISP for 3 years now, at the same apartment, and my top download speed has always been 1.5Mbps (roughly 185K/s). For some reason my top download speed "now" is precisely 150K/s, and it's been that way for the past week or so. (And this speed limit affects all my internet-aware apps.)
Is it possible that I've set an OS-wide download limit without realizing it?
Second question: I'm using MenuMeters to determine my connection speed. When using Transmission, a Bit Torrent app, I can also read it's total downloading speed. When MenuMeters tells me that my total download speed is 150K/s, Transmission tells me that it's only downloading at 135K/s.
Trouble is that Transmission is the only app running. And indeed if I pause the downloads, MenuMeters indicates 0K/s (so there are no other internet-using apps running). Since I haven't found any report of speed errors on the Transmission forum, I don't understand this incoherence.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Loa

Hello,
Tom: very close to what MenuMeters was telling. So I guess Transmissions has some bugs.
But that doesn't solve my other problem: why isn't my top speed 185K/s anymore? Can this be on my side, or is it entirely up to my ISP?
Thanks
Loa

  • 2 questions about connection to hyper-v in windows 8

    hi,
    I can connect to my virtual machine from hyper-v manager  ,but when I try the other option
    --- connect with hyper-v virtual machine(option)  I see  on the log on wizard telling me that I don't have  the right to run this job.  take contact with the autorazition policy administrator.
    1---my question is here ,   is connect with hyper-v virtual machine  option   is  specially purposed to connect with  virtual server or it has some onother function!   because I opened the autorazation
    policy on my windows 8 to see if I can edit some policies but I didn't see any function to creat one only it is asking for archieve.
    2--connction trough remote desktop to VM is only purposed from ouside or you can use it  to connect to VM internally too? very short answers wil be enough.
    thanks

    thanks
    ,but wat about connect to hyper-v  virtual machine option in start menu(which is one of  hyper-v manage  programa's option  and  the second is shyper-v manager), why I can not connect through this option
     it gives  me Always an error with  that I don't have the right to run this  conect option through its log on  window and I have to contact my system administrator of autorization policy?
    is this option (connect) outside the hyper-v manager is purposed for the server or I have to change some policies on my computer to can log on to virtual machine from ouside the hyper-v manager with this second option

  • Basic questions about connection sharing and radio mode

    I just got TC and have a couple of basic questions.
    At home I have a D-Link ADSL modem/router (no wifi) plugged into the wall, and would like TC to provide wifi. I've connected the WAN port to some LAN port of the router and everything works fine. The intented usage of the setup is wifi-only. Would you recommend TC to do DHCP/NAT? Or is Bridge mode better? In the latter case I don't fully understand who's routing the wifi network (though it actually works).
    Second question is about radio mode. My wife has an iBook G4 that is not capable of talking 801.11n, so I selected the n mode compatible with b/g. In that mode my black MacBook will still be able to talk 801.11n with TC? The iBook has very low usage, it is fine that computer uses 801.11g for TC, but I'd like the MacBook to go full-speed. (If that's not possible I'd ponder purchasing an 801.11n adaptor of some sort for the iBook.)

    Would you recommend TC to do DHCP/NAT? Or is Bridge mode better?
    It doesn't matter.
    In the latter case I don't fully understand who's routing the wifi network (though it actually works).
    The D-Link modem/router.
    In that mode my black MacBook will still be able to talk 801.11n with TC?
    Yes. It will only suffer lower bandwidth if the iBook G4 is actively connected.

  • Question about high speed DSL

    I have had high speed DSL 1.5 MB service since 8/20. Up until last night I was in love with the service. It was running between 600 and 1000KBPS excededing my expectations.
    Then last night around 9:45pm it got extremely slow. I am talking 23.3KBPS on the bandwidth test I was able to run from CNET. I followed the instructions in the tech support and power cycled my modem and PC. I checked all connections and they were secure. The DSL light is solid which from what I have read here means I have a connection.
    Would rain/thunderstorms cause an issue? We have had a large amount of rain since Saturday.
    I am just frustrated with this issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok..
    Please post the modem status from your modem.
    #1 If you have no idea of what I mean, since I have no idea of how old or new your Westell 6100 is, I point you to All DSLR (.dslreports.com) FAQs » Verizon Online DSL FAQ » 4. Hardware -> How do I use a router with the Westell 6100?
    #2 When there, notice that they talk about the white and blue Westell Firmware and the red and black Westell firmare.

  • Switching from PC to Mac, have question about processing speed

    Hi, I am going to buy a used Mac off of ebay and I am pretty clueless about where to start. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to the difference in processing speeds on pc's and apples both and have just been using what has been passed along. I am on a budget and cannot afford to do a bunch of upgrades when I get a new (to me) apple. I am currently working on a old pc (8 years?) that has had as many upgrades as it can handle. It is a Pentium III 548 mhz, 384 mb of ram and 40g hd on Windows XP. The Apple that I am stuck on getting right now is a G3 with a bunch of upgrades. It is an Imac PowerPC g3 with a 600mhz processor, 512 mb of memory, 120 gb hard drive. It has OS X 10.4 Tiger and ILife and has a single processor. It has a airport extreme card also. My question is 1) Does it take less mhz and ram to run the operating system for an apple and 2) am I going to notice a big difference in speed between what I have now and with the apple? The g3 is $249 and comes with a 90 day guarantee minus shipping. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
    Tracy

    I'd save your money or apply it to an Apple G4 (AGP or newer) tower. Depending on how it was configured, you may find that your PIII was a little faster loading web pages than the 600 MHz iMac. My 1 GHz P3s are faster than my iMac DV G3-400 MHz models. I think $249 plus shipping for a 5 or 6 year-old iMac is a bit high. I picked up one of my G3-400 MHz iMac DVs for $20 at a thrift store. If there are any in your area that accept donated computers, you might want to check for a local bargain. While the 600 MHz model that you described is loaded, that's about as far as it goes, other than bumping the memory to 1 GB, but that would likely involve removing a pair of 256 MB DIMMs already in it, and buying a pair of 512 MB DIMMs. If it has a single 512 MB DIMM installed, you wouldn't have to spend as much. Selling the computer with Tiger installed but without the OS installer media will eventually put you in a bind, when you'll need to boot from the installer CD to perform disk repair maintenance. Some may consider Tiger to be a bit demanding of that iMac's system resources, preferring the predecessor "Panther" instead. The bottom line is that the iMac is somewhat limited, in terms of design (no PCI slots) and/or future upgrade potential. If it will suit your needs as a starter Mac, try finding a comparable model for less. You might also check for used computer dealers in your area, as that saves the cost of shipping, and return shipping - if there's a problem. The G4 tower has more potential for hardware tweaking, if you decide to stick with the Mac OS. You can find G4 towers at eBay selling for less than $249, but you'd need to have a monitor. Is space at a premium, in terms of a preference for the iMac's compact form factor? There is a direct correlation between the OS version and the optimal processor speed and amount of installed memory to adequately run it. OS X needs/uses more memory than the older, pre-OS Mac versions, just as Vista or XP2 requires more memory than Windows Me or 98SE. A comparison of Intel's P3s to Apple's G3s or G4s gets into the debate over which one handles more instructions per clock cycle than the other at a given speed. It's difficult to do a head-to-head comparison, because the hardware and software is not the same.

  • About connection  speed

    hello friends ,
    I am new to the live media encoding.I want to know how much
    of speed i want to live stream.
    my encoding configurations are
    size : 400X 300
    FPS : 25
    2 pass CBR
    video bitrate :200kbps
    audio 22050 Hz
    bitrate :32 kbps
    please help me to find a good internet connection....
    When calculated the bitrate using adobe bitrate calculator
    ,it shows 288 kbps.
    please help me to find out it...
    regards
    harilal

    first of all, you can't do a 2CBR live encoding.. next up..
    400x300 is not really the size you should use.. there is always the
    multiplier by 16 that would help you achieve the best quality, you
    can find a list of appropriate frame dimensions on the bitrate
    calculator.
    I normally use 300kbps for my low entry streamings, if it
    goes highmotion I go up to 800k but never more then that.
    What do you need to know exactly? The calculator actually
    answers all you questions..

  • Question about transfer speed of my cloud ex2 product. request advice please

    Hi guys, I use Raid 1 on my cloud ex2. I have something weird going on. When i received mine My Cloud ex2 with dual wd red of 6tb disks i just unpack all the gear and just do the installation as provided. I used also the data cable that was inluced in the box and i connect it to mine Airport Extreme router from apple.  Also mine computer is windows and is also connected on the Airport extreme and if i do a speedtest of mine connection via this website www.speedtest.net. below you see a picture of it.  The problem i have with mine My cloud device is i wanted to copy mine files from a wd 4tb external disk wich is connected on my pc via USB 3 connection from there i copy them to mine Wd my cloud ex2 drive via network and i try to move arround 50gigs in total and he write them in aprox 10MB/s thats ridicilous slow speed. How i can solve this issue /? is there any way to do it faster because i also wanted my movies on the nas but if i see that 50 gigs takes me aprox 2 hours to get the job done ya mine USB 3 external disk do this operation much quicker.... pfff  I checked also mine network and i have 1Gb speed and the network light at the back of the mycloud ex2 is GREEN blinking because of the copy proces.... Anyone can give me explanation about this matter  Thanks in advanceSteve

    I beg to differ.....my EX2 was showing 10-11MBps (thats megabytes) until I learned a thing or two about home network infrastructure... What did I learn? 1. I had an old router that did not support gigabit (problem!)2. I had old network cable that was homemade (possibly a problem)3. I had outlandish expectations of my hardware despite #1 and #2 (biggest problem)4. At no point did I doubt the EX2. I was smart enough to know the capabilities of most hardware just didn't know enough about networking hardware. (first step to solution is admitting there's a problem) What did I do? Well I thought about how important it was for me to be able to move data between my PC and the EX2 as fast as possible so i scoured the Internet for answers. I then decided my newer technology devices (iphones, Ipads,Wifi TVs, etc) coud benefit as well from upgraded hardware. So I purchased a gigabit compatible router (it was hard to part with the cash for a stupid box with blinky lights) and a new cat5e cable. BOOM! 60-70 MBps from my PC to and from the EX2. Now, I would like to see even higher speeds being that my SSD can handle nearly a GB per second and being that a gigabit connection (in theory)) is equivelent to 125MB (and i'm aware of some overhead needs) i was hoping for maybe 90-100MB per second. This is acheiveable perhaps with utilizing a gigabit switch instead of the router and guaranteeing no other writing to the source and destination drives but I've got bigger problems.... The wifi to my Laptop is bottlenecking my  speeds to the NAS at around 11MBps which I think can be fixed with a new wifi card that is capable of AC speeds. No blame to the EX2 on this...either way despite my less than desirable speeds in the beginning, I never had an issue streaming from the EX2 just backing up data was time consuming. If you value your time and want the speeds that the rest of the world is getting... I suggest the following: 1. Make sure you got a Gigabit router2. Make sure your PC has a gigabit NIC card3. Make sure you've got good Cat5e (at minimum) cables. Got all the above satisfied? You should be flying and happier than a blue haired old lady with a bucket of quarters at a Vegas slot machine. To be clear... I am a cheapskate and don't have the most robust machinery but I did learn WHERE to spend my money to get the best bang for the buck. I recently went on a purchase binge but with a well thought out strategic plan... PC = HP500-314 >>16gb Ram >>250gb Samsung 850 SSD >>AMD A8-7600 CPU (total investment $599)Laptop = Lenovo G50-45 >> 16gb RAM >> 500 gb Samsung 850 SSD >> AMD A8-6140 (total investment  $549)Router = Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 (R7000) gigabit router The money I saved on not buying a top of the line Intel I7  PC for roughly $1,200-$1,400 allowed me to build two pretty decent machines (with fast hard drives and more RAM than I can use) and a $200 router (now available for $160) for nearly the same price as one awesome machine that wont reach its potential with what I use them for. All that said I would then have no more moeny for hardware and would be running through my 6 year old crappy router. Moral of the story, don't blame the EX2 until you've had a darn good look at the rest of your hardware and network infrastructure. I believe most of the complaints are stemmed from my same early mistakes. You need to understand gigabit, megabit, and megabyte before you make any claims. Hope this helps someone! Sorry for the long post, I think I just found out how much I like writing on my new laptop!

  • Need help.. Question about connectivity of PS2 with Creative A2ZS Video Edit

    Hi everyone, i have question regarding creative A2ZS video editor.. please forgive me for my innocent question since im new here..
    I own a Play Station 2.. can this video editor allow me to connect my PS2 and show the display on the monitor so that i can play my PS2 game on the monitor? it's like functioning like a VGA box.. thanks!Message Edited by nicholas_23 on 05-9-200709:46 AM

    If you hook the standard analog video outputs of the PS2 (the ones that would go to the TV) into the Video Editor and get into the VidCap applet (free download from the Creative Website), drag the Preview window so its full screen, then you can use your laptop or desktop as a "TV".

  • Question about connecting to internet without using Wi-Fi

    This is a potentially dumb question, but I am a brand-new iPhone user and former Treo user, so I am used to a different set-up when it comes to connecting to my mobile carrier's data network. I can successfully connect my iPhone to my wireless (airport) network, but when I'm out on the street, I thought that the AT&T data network would pick up where the wireless left off. But, nothing happening. I'm used to the Treo having a VPN settings page. On my iPhone, there are no VPN configurations. I signed up for a data plan with AT&T, so I thought they would have configured the phone with the settings. Can anyone fill me in on some missing information? Thanks!

    I did some more digging for information last night and figured out how to get online when not connected to WiFi. Thanks! Problem solved.
    This page: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/calls/
    explained it all to me.

  • Question about minimum speeds required for watching movies.

    I watch Netflix on my home computer fine (and Hulu) and will occasionally share the screen with my HDTV and it works fine.
    With AppleTV, can I expect to be able to rent/watch movies with basic DSL Internet, with speeds up to 1.5 Mbps?
    Or do I really need to have faster Internet to consider it?
    Thanks!

    I would upgrade. You need at least 3mbps for SD content and 5mbps for HD
    Netflix degrades quality based on the connection and you will have a long wait if renting through iTunes.

  • General Question About Compressor Speed & Newer Macs

    Hi,
    I am considering buying a PowerMac G5/2.3 dual-processor. I currently have a G4/350 with a 1.2 Ghz Sonnet processor installed. My main intent is to speed up MPEG2 compression for DVDSP 4 at any encoding setting compared with what I have now. I usually leave this computer running overnight to encode without any other apps running. Typical video length is 1-2 hours.
    Will I see a significant speed boost with the G5 and a comparable amount of ram or is it a waste of money? DVDSP simulation also looks choppy. Will that smooth out?
    BTW, I have no interest in creating a cluster to hand off Compressor tasks, so that path will play no part in my decision. Thanks for any help.
    James

    You'll see a difference, for sure.
    I work on a Dual 1.42 G4 tower but often visit a friend over at a local post house who works on a Dual 2.5 G5. His machine is significantly faster than mine - I'd say about 40% faster. (and yes, I say this having needed to work on Compressor on his machine)
    Considering the greater horsepower difference in your scenario, you should be pretty happy.

  • Two question about running speed in Labiview RT and FPGA

    hi All
    Right now I am working on a project, which need to be developed on Labview RT and FPGA
    Here I have two quick question.
    1. Why sampling rates of RTD (9217) module is very slow, it is just aroud 1/sec? even I just tried to run Labview example.
    2. We would like to develop another HMI, which can be used for monitoring the program running in CompactRIO.  In my project, i want to use network publish varible to implement this function. but the running speed become very slow, when I put these variable into my codes. (Shown in attachment) 
    Thanks

    RT_Question.doc ‏172 KB

    Nope, those modes can be selected when using 9217. Drop an I/O property node to your FPGA block diagram and select correct module from the list and you should be able to set conversion time.
    Answer to your second question is that your shared variables update only when there's data available from FPGA. This means that if you use high resolution mode (800ms/4ch) they update once every ~800ms. Changing your conversion time to high speed should give you a faster update rate.

  • Questions about connecting second monitor to HP 610-1015xt TouchSmart AIO

    Hi,
    I have a HP 610-1015xt  touchsmart PC with AMD Radeon HD5570.  Now I've gone through all the similar questions on this forum and I still had a couple of my own or needed some more calarity on some.
    I've read time and again that one should use the second monitor in "clone" mode istead of "extended" mode because TouchSmart software is not compatilable with exteded mode. Now does that simply mean that my PC may show erratice behavior if I try to use touch features while in extended mode and second monitor connected?  Because if that's the only issue, I can live with it as I don't use touch features at all. Also, will dsiabling touch help in any way? 
    Is anyone here using a second monitor in extended mode on a touchsmart? Have you guys faced any issues? 
    Also, what I'm trying to find out is if things will run smooth if I connect a HP 32" Quad HD monitor with 2560 x 1440 resolution? I have found a adapater called Plugable USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter which supports 2560 x 1440, I'm just trying to figure out if my PC will be able to hadle it? If anyone has any knowledge on this, please do share.  Because if I can't get the full resolution, I will just settle for a full HD screen. 
    People, please do share your experinece or suggestions. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Jay

    Jay, I own a notebook without touch but a monitor with touch. I use my monitor as extended monitor. The touch works fine on the extended monitor and works without touch on the notebook screen. I do not face any issues in using this way. Depending on my need, it switch my primary display to the extended touch monitor or notebook screen. Whether it is the primary display or not, when in extended mode, the touch works fine on my monitor.
    Regarding the other question on Quad monitors, my knowledge is limited. Sorry for not being able to answer that part of the question.
    I am an HP employee.
