So I went on speedtest.net on the school's computer.

You guys ready to see the epic speed of my school's conncetion?

Are you sure you can handle it?

Aw man, maybe it's just the fact you're all in America, but your download speeds are just ridiculously large compared to mine. At the moment (using Speedtest.net), I'm getting abouts:


And that's not mentioning the ridiculous throttle speeds if you over-download. Let's just say I struggle to get more than 10 kb/s download when I've been throttled.
Stupid Virgin Media...

HOLY CARP.

That's like... a Wii game in 10 minutes, when it takes me around 10 hrs. at home.

I find it amusing that half the countries in the top 10 are eastern european.

We're gonna upgrade soon to 20megs fibreoptic from NTL. My dad said it should be working around monday.

That site is buggy as hell though. Did any of you ever reach a number close to that when downloading a normal file?

In Japan I had a very crappy connection because I was in a territory without good internet coverage. On top of that they hardly have any competition in Japan so internet aint that great. However speedtest.net displayed ridiculous speeds.

Alright, here's one from me.



Japan, is great for their speeds.

There's lots of competition for service, not so much for backbone, you only have 2 -4 options, but then the providers... so many!

I've not quite reached those speeds when downloading, but near them with newsgroups. I can't find these speeds DL from the web or Torrents... but who needs em when you've got newsgroups *^_^* (of course for legal purposes for DL Linux distros and such...)

My experience was a little bit worse but then again I didn't live in Tokio..

Anyone who's got BT here?

Apparently, this is the maximum speed that I can get from home. The max of the ISP is 8Mb...

I'll try the one in my college on Monday.

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
     +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds
