| 426077 | 2006-03-10 09:07:00 | Just an update back on the original topic.... Used Actrix for about 2 weeks now..... My final verdict on it???? It's good, with the caps, I manage to maximise my allowed downloads every night... (700mb/day). I just figured that you have to know what times you should schedule your downloads, avoid the peak times.... The actrix staff are helpful in this and will actually advise on when their servers have the lightest load. So as long as you keep to using it between 12pm-6pm, 10pm-12am, the speeds are pretty decent at around 80kbps, only annoyance being that other times it slows down to about 30-40kbps... |

| 426078 | 2006-03-10 11:32:00 | Do you use a D/L manager program like Getright. I use it and have it set to D/L from 4 servers at once, so if you have 4 servers D/L at 30 Kbps that amounts to a D/L speed of 120kbps which I get most times. Trevor :) |

| 426079 | 2006-03-11 10:04:00 | Yes, I use Flashget, or have lots of peers when using BT... Hey, around times like 1am (after everyone's caps get reset and starts crazy downloads again), traffic has to "fight their way thru" crowded servers.... To be honest, 30-50kbps then is acceptable, especially understanding how their "daily caps" policy works... Like I said before, if you get used to this and adjust your schedules accordingly (kinda like driving thru peak traffic), it's pretty all right, the caps Actrix imposes... |
