Title: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 26 April 2009, 00:19:10 So, I'm downloading Steam.
It just asked me my internet connection speed. Problem is, I don't know it. How can I find out what my internet connection speed is? I would ask someone over some sort of messanger, but since I'm on a new computer I don't want to reinstall all that crap just yet 'cuz it always made my old computer run slow.

The options I'm given are: Modem -56k DSL > 256k DSL > 768k DSL/Cable > 2M Cable/Fiber > 10M That's the type of whatever-things I'm looking for. Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Snare on 26 April 2009, 00:44:15 Oh. Teehee.
Ask mom or dad! Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 26 April 2009, 00:49:17 Dad's gone, won't be back until Monday.
The 66% percent off Orange Box is only available this weekend. Mom's computer illiterate. Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: saldite on 26 April 2009, 01:08:09 Eh...

Post by: Chron on 26 April 2009, 01:34:07 Uh... That didn't really help. USE THE SPEED TEST. LOOK AT THE VALUE. CHOOSE THE GROUP YOUR VALUE FITS IN. WINNER Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Ikeoko on 26 April 2009, 01:37:09 Choose DSL > 768k
Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Snare on 26 April 2009, 01:58:14 HEY.
YEAH. SO I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. :@ Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 26 April 2009, 04:55:00 Yeah, I still don't see any value on that speed test that makes any #####ing sense to me in this situation.
Whatever, I just picked the DSL/Cable one at random, so now Steam downloads things really slowly. Is it always like this, or did I ##### up? Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Mikero on 26 April 2009, 07:13:32 Even if you #####ed up I'm, sure you can change it later. It wouldn't make sense if you couldn't.
Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: ASR on 26 April 2009, 08:02:29 Yeah, it's not like they expect you to never change your internet. Like, what if you're on a laptop?
I have Steam and I probably set that setting once and haven't touched it since. I'm on a laptop and have never had a problem, although admittedly I don't really use Steam.

Post by: Chron on 26 April 2009, 13:20:36 Yeah, I still don't see any value on that speed test that makes any #####ing sense to me in this situation. Usually when you choose that it's for calculation in the time estimate on the downloads. If it's reading something like ten minutes but it take an hour to download, you picked the wrong one. It all comes from the same place. At least I think it does. Title: Re: Let's help Sano download Steam, because he's a retard. Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 26 April 2009, 15:15:30 'Kay, thanks dudes.
I changed the speed and now it's going a lot smoother. Everything's working and stuff, so topic over. |
