    Default Speedtest! : )

    Nowadays I like involving you guys in the technical aspects of the site. Atleast, it seems like that . I hope you can help me out with this one:

    Could you please speedtest the following file:
    N64 - Deadly Arts

    This means I just want you to download it and tell me what speed you get. Also, please do include your location details, i.e. Country of residence alongwith your speed output.

    I need this to plan the future server layout for EP. Yup! Ep's going global

    Thanks a lot!

    EDIT: Right now I'm guessing folks from the US, Canada and Europe are going to get good speeds and the rest of the world are going to get bad speeds but lets see how this turns out : )

    EDIT2: Oh yes, and also please mention your connection capacity, download speed-wise. It obviously makes sense if you get 5kb/s and you're on dialup

    Average speed: 240kb/s
    My internet: 2MEG Broad Band
    My location: UK
    Max download: 300kb/s
    I'd say that was a FAST ass download.
