Still no takers on the System 9.2.1 download test.

I would really like to see some comparison figures time wise. The speed meters give bogus results. Actual DL'ing a large file over time can give a much better throughput of your connection.

Here's looking forward to seeing some DL times for the 9.2.1 download.

Wow iGary, not bad. Looks like you're ready for video-on-demand :cool:

I tested it because I got a letter from the cable company last week stating my upload speeds had been doubled - I had no idea the download was so high, though.

That's pretty nice. Who knew the quad gave you 4x the bandwidth as well? :rolleyes:

I just tested mine at work, connecting via VPN:

Alright, I just took the 9.2.1 download test. On a cable internet connection I got 5:06, or about 16 MB/min. I must say I am quite satisfied. :)

Cool. Thanks.

How does this compare with your speed meter test rates?

But seeing as this is a Washington DC server, I also picked one a bit closer:
Download
929.6 KByte/sec(=7437 kbps)
Upload
111.5 KByte/sec (=892 kbps)

And that's fast enough for MSN :) (just kidding)

Thanks, it's nice to do a test that's on this side of the Atlantic. Could you post your result with this test?

It's quite a bit faster than what I got going to D.C. using the original link.

It's only a fraction of what I'm supposed to be getting. (If I did the math right :eek: ) But I suppose downloading from Apple servers an hour before the Stevenote might have tainted the test.
