How quick is your internet?

[Boothy]

Took less than 2 seconds......

[JPC]

That's impossible. Your line can download at 1.97 mb per seconds (when at top speed) and the file Is 12mb.

Could have been cached or proxied by his ISP...

Still wouldnt of worked, if you take the megabits per second figure that speed test.net gives you divide it by 8 you then have the number of mega bytes you can transfer per second, so 18Mega Bytes divided by 1.97 Megabytes and you get how long it would take to download any file.

The cache will decrease the distance and latency for each packet which can slow the transfer down, but it wont make the pipe between your house and your ISP router any bigger.

I ain't got a tube'a'glue what any of your are on about but I downloaded the image and it was done in less than two seconds then ran the speed test and thats what came up?!

I just did it again too. Right clicked, save image, 2 secs later its downloaded it in its entirety.................or am I missing something?

[JPC]

haha, im not saying your lying mate,  just with the speed test given and the image size, it doesnt seem to add up. And im intrigued to learn why!

if you havent tube'a'glue, well, its like saying a ford fiesta can do 0-60 in 4 seconds. with the info there in the last statement, its defies physics! if we later find its an all wheel drive 1100hp fiesta, i could understand that!

[vRS Carl]

Maybe he is only downloading the size of the image on screen and not the full 18.1mb

Rather than actually downloading the full image he is just saving the image that is displayed on the screen.

I haven't used windows like that in a while but don't you have to left click on the image to load it in full then right click and save?

That would explain the 2 sec download time.

  Relax mate I didn't think you were and if the figures don't add up they don't add up which begs the question, whats going wrong....or er, right?

Am I downloading it correctly with a right click and save image?

[vRS Carl]

On the image you have already downloaded. Right click on it. Left click properties and see what size it says it is.

That will tell you if you have downloaded the displayed image or the full 18.1mb

[Boothy]

It says its 18,524kb. I've downloaded at ten versions now and its always around 2 seconds?

My Internets did it in about 10 seconds. (Virgin Media)

Clear your temporary internet cache and try again.

Does anyone know or can figure out what the actual physical dimension of this image is as a 1:1? I've got access to large scale plotters at work and fancy printing it out.

[minty7815]

Actual print dimensions are 30000 x 1000 pixels or 491.61 cm x 16.39 cm

HTH

5 METRES!!! Think i'd better print that when the boss's out of the office.
