I'm not gonna ask where did you get that cuz I'm sitting on 65Mbps too.. lol
I've downloaded 35GB last night and can't wait to get back home to resume downloading and play :)
PS: it seems like Steam throttles the bandwidth to the middle east cuz it bursts to 65Mbps but settles at 20~25Mbps whatever server you pick !
Long Live VPS's my friend!
BUT i never had a throttling issue...
Do you mean no throttling from steam ?
For me it bursts to 8MB/s for 15 seconds max, then drop slowly to 2.4~3.1MB/s "2.4MB most of the time", if I pause and resume downloading it happens again... 8MB/s for 10~15 seconds :s
Downloading through IDM (Internet Download Manager) by using 16/32 connections gives a steady 8~9.5MB/s (64~76Mbps) so either steam is throttling bandwidths to the Middle East or steam app is a total crap..
m0ei wroteSome explanation please on how and where you're getting that internet up/down speed from?
OdeToDeath wroteThanks for answering mohammedsf . 0.1 MBps kbps ( with FUP ) here :) . I'm sure those astronomical speeds ( 50 mbps+ ) aren't really affordable for any low end company and even less for personnal use here lol .
Personally , for huge games , i download them when i'm back in france ( 350+ mbps fiber ) or ask relatives living there to get me the files . No alternatives till now sadly
Edit : M0ei , they probably have a deal with a local cable company or got a dedicated line from a big ISP ( Ogero , cyberia , ect ) . Don t really know about VPSes that Ngel talked about
I don't have any deals from any company.. I'm just a poor lebanese guy living his life with a sh!tty 2~4Mbps line like everybody else :(
It's just a line that I can use on emergencies at some ISP and guess what ??
one day, I sat in front of a devil that cranks 660Mbps !! I was shocked and didn't know what to do, I was like "google... facebook..." haha
