ta. well, i'm just wondering, is it just me or (seen as though a search didn't provide anything)... did this place have the longest upgrade ever?

i've been loading up every now'n'then since before christmas to see the photo of that cat doing the upgrades... luckily tonight i saw forums

Something very odd there, we moved over one evening

Joe 90 · 08-01-2009, 00:47

maybe i missed something... i think my bookmark was still pointing to the server IP opposed to domain name (until i just switched it)

leowyatt · 08-01-2009, 00:48

Yeah the IP would have changed when we moved

that's probably it.

Is your t'nternet really 80meg? Or because I'm tired I'm reading the numbers wrong

Joe 90 · 08-01-2009, 00:54

well it changes a lot... but yeah that speed test came out @ 80meg down/40meg up.

i've had another test @ 120meg down and about 10meg up... as i say, its up and down but generally super fast.

You have your own connection or something? or are you on an edu backbone?

Joe 90 · 08-01-2009, 01:02

nope, no edu or anything. I am in halls however and our ISP is also in Sheffield. I assume our line to them is optical or something as the speeds are crazy

it has dropped though... I used to get downloads @ 12mb/s but i'm sure now that i use all my Rapidshare traffic everyday that my connection speed (for downloads at least) has been capped

leowyatt · 08-01-2009, 01:02

bum, still silly fast speed test

Joe 90 · 08-01-2009, 01:04

yeah, i can't complain for £150 a year!

all they don't allow is torrents. I've since taken ownership of a years rapidshare and a few extra forum accounts, which is amazing.

They blocked ssl newsgroup access?
