question to anyone whom may have experience, i have a amd64 3000, running on 1024 of geil ddr 3200 (2.5.4.4.8) on a gigabyte ultra sli motherboard, i run dsl and have my account maxed at 1056 mb/s down (never get that fast) i run utorrent and iam hoping to maybe overclock and increase down speeds, is that possible, iam i wasting my time???
will overclocking help downloading much

1. Overclocking aplies to CPU, RAM, graphics card and northbridge chipset. Not on the comunication devices.
2. Your bandwidth is probably 1024kbps or 1Mbps. 1056Mbps is bandwidth that not all internet providers have installed for all their customers. There is no hard disk that is able to read or write 1056Mbps, you will need at least 4 hard drives at 10000RPM in RAID stripe.
3. The bandwidth is limited from your internet provider. The only option is to pay for better link.

No home internet connection is 1056 mb/s.
I think you mean 1536 Kbps (which is about 155 KB/sec, or about 1/7000th as fast as you think).
You are mixing up Megabytes (1 MB) and Megabits (0.125 MB, if not less).
You may also be mixing up Megabytes (1 MB) and Kilobits (0.125 KB, or 128 bytes).
Use your head and find the bottleneck.

OC'ing or upgrading your hardware will not improve your upload or download speeds at all.
Even a better TCP/IP stack would not really improve your download speeds because they are limited by your ISP / DSL provider and the bandwidth of the network nodes you are communicating with as well as Internet weather.
To get better performance you have to either upgrade your DSL service or upgrade to another type of service such as Cable, Fiber to home, leased line, etc if it they are available in your area.

LOL... WOW..
Just think if you could d/l 1056MB/S
Heh, anyways to add to clear that up, this is my connection

Even a 10k rpm drive is limited to 70 mb/sec sustained throughput; he'd need a lot more than jsut a RAID 5 to keep up with 1 gb/sec, but, I think you're right, he prob meant 1.056 mbps...

You can achieve that with a RAMDisk or solid state disk.
You could also achieve about 1.2GB/sec with a 4 channel U320 controller with a few 15,000 or 10,000 RPM U320 drives in RAID or even U320 SCSI solid state disks.
Similarly you could get 800MB/sec reads in RAID 5 with a 3Ware 9550SX controller and about 380MB/sec writes also in RAID 5.
You could get more performance by adding more controllers if your system has enough bandwidth.

Be more like 20 x HDDs in RAID-6, over 2 controllers each with 533 MB/sec (ideally 800/1066 MB/sec+) PCI-X (100/133 MHz x 64 bit wide) interfaces on their own (not-shared) PCI-X tunnels.... and even then I have my doubts when streaming just one file.
Bearing in mind you'd a need 'more than' 10 Gbps network interface (eg: 2 of them), also on their own tunnel(s), and a machine at the other end either decoding some very high resolution / uncompressed video, or with enough disk subsystem write performance to keep up with the ability of the above.
Costs would be quite high, but I suspect it has already been done.

Pretty expensive for 'just 4-TB of Capacity', but likely upgradable to 33-TB or more, even then doubt the network interface is fast enough.
A 'cheap' cluster of 8 machines, all using Dual-Gigabit Ethernet and 160 MB/sec+ per machine would be able to do 'similar' workloads for a fraction of the US$160,000+ of the above machine.
At 1 GB/sec all my storage would fill up within 60 minutes.

Several Tyan Dual Opteron boards ( such as the S2882 ) can already do that.
They have 2 PCI-X bridges and can push 1064MB/sec on one bridge and 800MB/sec on the other bridge.
Newer Tyan boards ( such as the S2895, S4881, S4885, etc ) with PCI-Express slots could use PCI-Express controllers for even more bandwidth for a lot less than $160,000
I can build a machine with that amount of bandwidth and a few TB of storage for $10K - $20K.

Nope.. only catch we had was to upgrade our cable modem.
Funny thing is, our original modem stop working. So they charged us for a new one capable for their highspeed, no extra cost for the service. The modem was around 45 bucks.
When they tested it, he verified we had 9mb d/l. Though, that was an internal server on their netork.

That's REALLY awesome! :-D
Wish I could get that here.

just to throw in my little story, somebody way above mentiond it would be cool to dl at over 1000mb sec well at the college I go to I did. I was dl Ubuntu linux and it started at 400mbs and went to 1gbs about half way through and stayed there (not for long bc it was done insanely quick). This was over christmas holiday so only a few of us that were working were on the network.
most of the time I dl @ about 100mbs to 300mbs (from servers of course not torrent or p to p networks, thoes I get a crapy 50mbs at most)

i see your comments and yeah iam confussing the mp and kb i will read up on them...question though bottle neck how do i find it....i guess thats using my head, p.s i have optus dsl at the highest speed.
