may be he is using dap registerd version. there u have a ultra mode where u get good speeds but not 150KBps, may be around 20kbps, notice the difference b/w KB(kilo bytes) and Kb(kilo bits).

ooh! plzz cum out of rumours ... wat is he ??

A son of a very very rich man with a silver spoon in his mouth or wat :lol: ??

download speed upto 150 kbps is a bit tooooooo much to speak in public .. c'mon .. ok! if its true .. than he must own some Optic fibre link just for his own comp :lol: .

U know how much does tht cost! ... for T1 it's ard 200 bucks per metre! got tht!

& the speed abt U r talking is way too gud.. U need to own a thicker fibre cable for tht .. something! like T3 or better than tht!

:lol: dunt behave :lol:

Ooh.........T3 line if in India...........News to me............

It will take 150 years for India to reach a download speed of 150Kbps and maybe america will be at 1500GB/s

woah....ok...if u want us to believe u then do post a screenshot from his comp....waddaya say guys??

May 10, 2005 at 8:57 PM
How do you the screenshot he posts will be from his friends comp?
Anyways, since all the PC's are networked, he can easily download a file from one PC to another and DAP will show speeds in Mbps.

If your using internet connection under the same lan then there can't be so much difference.

one getting a regular dial up 5kBps speed and other is enjoying 30 times faster speed.

It'd be plain foolish of someone to use DAP on Lan :p

notice the difference b/w KB(kilo bytes) and Kb(kilo bits).

Thats it!:)

Well guys, My friend finally told me .

Like we are allowed to access net in our college for a maximum of 4 hours a day. We use a software called " CYBER ROAM" to login. What we do is that after logging in the cyberroam, we start the download and when the download has started we log off, and then the speed rises. If we download while we are still logged we get a speed of 5KBps . It is a sort of hit and trial but 90% times it works. And nobody understands how this happens.

And one more help guys. This cyberroam does not allow us to access gaming sites so i am unable to download games from gamespot etc. The only site where i find games is Download.com.

Can you just paste some latest games demos link through which i can download directly. Also suggest some good softwares.
