quick question

[ChickenSoup]

I'm too lazy to check, how big is the 7-day trial thingy, does it require your email, and how long did it take one of you to download (if you did)

Old thread but here we go: The 7-day trial thingy require that you give out your e-mail address in order to receive a serial number. The client is approx. 500 MB and depending on where you live and what your connect speed is it can take anything from 20 minutes to a week (if you use modem).

 

[ChickenSoup]

he he, a WEEK? wow. I have cable tho

 

[vibrokatana]

then probably a hour or 2

 

[ChickenSoup]

on my downloads it says between 90-110 kbps usually. Funny, since our service is for 3 meg... I guess that's not download speed

 

[vibrokatana]

your maximum speed is 3*1024/8

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Aug 26 2006, 23:46:07)
[GCC 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 3*1024/8
384

so you could download *theoretically* at 384 kbps, ISPs advertise speeds at Mb/s, to convert from bits to bytes you divide by 8 (8 bits to one byte)

*brain fizzles*

And this means what?

 

[vibrokatana]

that you need to learn math

 

[ChickenSoup]

or math where the multiplication symbol is an asterisk?

 

[vibrokatana]

thats basic syntax for use in computers

 

[ChickenSoup]

I don't need to learn it, so I didn't. Sheesh.

Unfortunately you have to understand many forms, not always will you have to speak to and learn from proper english speaking people.
