| 558835 | 2007-06-14 00:00:00 | try netmeter, it's pretty good www.metal-machine.de i'm still using 0.9.9.9beta and it's pretty good, tells you exactly what you want to know and in the units you want to see it. plus transparency, always on top and click-through features:D |

| 558836 | 2007-06-14 05:42:00 | I've always thought 10Mbps network gives you max of 1.25Mbyte/s guess I was wrong then.. |

| 558837 | 2007-06-14 05:51:00 | actually, after a re-read of your post i think you can tell the difference, owell - i forgot to account for the 1024 and used 1000 between kilo and mega etc anyway What 1024? In bit speeds, all the numbers are decimal. :groan: Anyway, everyone should now be using the proper prefixes to avoid all ambiguity and confusion. kibi = 1024, kilo = 1000 . :cool: |

In bit speeds, all the numbers are decimal. :groan: Anyway, everyone should now be using the proper prefixes to avoid all ambiguity and confusion. kibi = 1024, kilo = 1000 . :cool: what? as i understand it 10Mbps as the ISPs and networking hardware ppl sell it is 10/8 * 1024 * 1024 = 1310720Bytes per second, or dividing back again by 1024 and again by 1024 gives 1.25MBps (which, as many of you can see is just 10/8, so ignore my post about not converting it:blush:) the same applies if you do it in decimal - you still get 1.25 why you'd do it in decimal is beyond me, except i see hard drive manufacturers do like to - making the average user think they're buying more than you really are |

| 558840 | 2007-06-15 08:34:00 | Measurements which are counts of events (clock cycles, bits transmitted) normally use decimal . One bit per second is one bit per second . 1 kilobit per second is 1000 bits per second . 1 megabit per second is 1000 times that . 10 Mbps, the "standard" Ethernet speed is 10 million (decimal) bits per second . It has always been that . It's decimal . This is all based on the old communications standards, which go back many years . 300 bps is 300 (decimal) bits per second . 2400 bits per second is 2400 (decimal) . I'd do it in decimal because that's the natural human notation . 1 Mbps is 1,000,000 bps . "ISPs and networking hardware" use that unit of measurement . (By the way, 1 024 x 1 024 = 1 048 576 ) . Computer clock speeds are measured in Hz (cycles per second) 1 kHz is 1000 cles per second, 1 MHz is 1000000 cycles per second . Memory size has been expressed using the powers of 2 units, because the hardware was suited to that . But that notation came about mostly because that's the way the memory addresses were displayed in assemply language software listings (except for the few decimal computers like the 1620) . Disk sizes have often used the IBM "Mbyte" unit: 1000*1024 . Now many manufacturers use the 1024*1024 or the 1000*1000 "mega" to give the most impressive numbers . :( This has caused a lot of confusion . Why would you confuse yourself by using 1024? :D |

| 558841 | 2007-06-15 10:03:00 | ha.. going OT now but I don't care um..I think the confusion is how... 1024 bytes is 1 kilobyte 1024 kilobyte is 1 megabyte and 1024 megabyte is 1 gigabyte for historic or legacy units anyway (what wiki calls it) but 1000 meter is 1 kilometer and 1000 kilometer is 1 megameter etc.. er..sounds weird but if you read it while thinking scientific notations then sorta make sense but if you just apply the prefix of kilo, mega, or giga like you usually do onto byte..sometimes the numbers just go all funny I guess that's why Mebibyte came into place to stop the confusion..but imho it must made people more confused.. |

| 558842 | 2007-06-15 11:00:00 | You need to consider the the 11 Mb/s is duplex. 5.5 each direction... | godfather (25) | ||
| 558843 | 2007-06-15 21:35:00 | is it the duplex problem or something else? because for example from dse site the description for its 10/100 NIC (XH8265) "...full-duplex operation for up to 200Mbps bandwidth" um..confusing |

| 558844 | 2007-06-16 03:08:00 | I get sort of the same problem. I can download at 400+KB/s online but through LAN it goes at 30KB/s. Router is accepting the required ports. Firewall is off. But no joy :( But I a using 802.11g |
