Download accelerator argument with my friend
Good day folks,
I was chatting with my friend over msn, he suddenly tell me he is download 10x faster by using some kind of download accelerator that split the download into 10 pieces and download it concurrently. He told me the speed was 50kb/sec, the software boost the download speed to 500kb/sec.
Now he asked me to download something, I told him I am downloading at 40-50kb/sec (I am using 512kbps ADSL), he kept asking me to use download accelerator, ok, I listened to him. I used GetRight which split the download into 4, and the speed becomes 50-60kb/sec. Surprise? I don't think so, coz my speed is capped at 512, it's impossible to go beyond 512kbps(The Argument). But my friend keep telling me the speed should be 4 times faster by splitting the download into pieces, he kept asking me to try his download accelerator, I refused, coz I 'think' I know what is possible what is not. I think it is impossible to increase the speed and go beyond speed limit by splitting the download, he think it is possible.
I offered us$1million to him if what he said is correct. guys, I need ur inputs to prove that who is wrong ! :D
