fearthecat Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I have your average 56k modem, and when playing MTA I've noticed a huge amount of transfer... that's fine and there's no problems or anything, but i worked out that my modem is recieving almost 1MB per minute while playing. That's about 17k/sec Now how can i make my modem go like that ALL the time? And how come my ping still sucks more than a ...sucky thing? Just thought it was funny, mods can delete this if they feel it's of no value. Link to comment
Guest Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Next time, try to use questions that make a little more sense... "And how come my ping still sucks more than a ...sucky thing?" Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Well .. 17kbps out of 56 .. inst TOO fast .... And .. There's no way MTA can make ur modem go faster than 56kbps .. Link to comment
fearthecat Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 My questions weren't too serious... also the most a 56k modem gets usually, when like downloading an image or a file, is 5 or 6kb/sec if you're lucky... more often it's a measly 4... so getting a 3 fold increase is kinda special... i found it funny more than anything else, i'll leave the science to someone more qualified Link to comment

Dgtadude Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 hell . i think he got the point .. lol . my bad bout the mistake Link to comment
Posty Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Yep, theres no way a program can make your modem faster (unless its a cable modem and you uncap it). If it says its downloading more, its because of windows. Windows notices that you are downloading something, so it shows the download rate higher until it can catch up to where you have downloaded.

fearthecat Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hehe... okay i'm not saying mta acutally makes my modem faster... but somehow the transfer rate increases dramatically. It's not windows 'catching up' though, because my isp disconnects me every 2 hours, what you're saying is kinda contradictory in this respect because... the rate is something i've worked out, using the amount of data that i've received and the time i've been online. Windows has nothing to catch up on I dont want to get too serious about this, it's a light-hearted thread, but also a true observation Link to comment
Mealing Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 when i had my old 56k modem i got it going at 30kb/sec at one point.. mainly because i was downloading from a server only a few miles from where i live Link to comment
Ransom Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Funniest topic I've set eyes on in quite awhile. No MTA does NOT speed up your connection. Link to comment
vass69 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 wth, stupid bunch of lamas if u have 56k no program can make ur connection faster Link to comment
Guest Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 LOL there is a program that makes connection faster, MSPEED speeds up connection up to broadband with 56k modem so no need to get jealous Link to comment
