QUOTE (chiisai_hana @ Dec 6 2005, 08:18 PM) Not always true. The one Shuffle episode I downloaded off this very thread took me eleven hours. I nearly gave up and went back to using FTV, because it never takes more than eight hours. I do try to get the episodes off FTV first because I find megaupload to be quite slow most of the time. The rare episode will download in 2-3 hours (I don't really like mega, even though I know it can keep the file longer than YSI)
That is true but it is very rare. Most of megaupload servers are fast (at around 20kbs/s to 30kbs/s). However, there are a few that are very slow (4kbs/s). From my experience, it's www10.megaupload.com and www30.megaupload.com that are the two slowest one I have found. The rest (www40, 24, 27, 29, 09, 32, 01, 38) are between 20kbs/s and 30kbs/s. So it depends which server of Megaupload you are downloading from.
If you hit the slow one and see that it is running only at 4kbs/s and not 20kbs/s, the best thing is to cancel it and use Fansub TV.
If you hit a 20kbs/s it will takes around 2-3 hours to download an episode.
For example, I am downloading Kdrama Sweet18 episode 12 on megaupload right now on www41.megaupload server and it is VERY fast at 110kbs/s. This is very rare but it just goes to show you that there are servers that are slow (www10,30) but there are that are fast too.
