It all depends on what you need. 115gb is good enough for me because my housemates don't DL much. Also DC++ just doesn't cut it when it comes to the variety of XBOX 360 offerings and 720p movies. Divx/Xvid/BDrips are no fun to watch on HD monitors or TVs, quite poor quality. I guess, to each his own. |

Great ISP..I just moved from my apartment to my new house, and they set me up with my internet in 24 hours! Usually I'm waiting 5 days at least but they hooked me up nice and fast. |
I've been a Teksavvy customer for 3+ years now at home and must agree, they are excellent. The only drawback is that the unlimited services show a preference to use Cogent routing, while the regular/limited services will route you through the best route available. This makes latency for the unlimited connections not very good, especially for latency dependent things such as online gaming and VOIP. Of course, if latency isn't a factor for you, it won't matter much. |

Wtf?
There are no passwords to access MacHub. If you were an old user, your username might be registered before which has a password associated with it. Simply change your username.

I think it actually measures in mebibytes per second. 10 megabits per second on a LAN is not at all impressive, lol.

Its all routed the same now.
Yeah, DC++ is only good for "common" stuff..
Also, 10mbit/s is terrible for lan, lol.

That sounds more accurate lol. I never saw MiB/s before and assumed it was megabits.

Yeaahhhhh!! I didnt knowMac had a DC++. I have a friend that goes to Waterloo and have the same thing as well and he was like, "Waterloo is known for software engineering and computers so that's why we are the only University in Ontario that has DC++ filesharing, It is our expertise in this area". I was like, "dude filesharing isnt even a form of expertise and it doesnt really even go in depth with software engineering". Pfft Waterloo thinks their hot poo. Wait 'til I tell him, that Mac has it too and watch the pride wipe-off of his face lol. Thanks for informing us about this DC++  |

You are honestly better off looking for direct downloads online. I use filestube.

MiB/s
An MiB (Mibibyte) is 1000 KiB. Closely related to the MB (1000 KB).
A kibibyte is 1024 bytes while a kilobyte is 1000 bytes. lol

When I try to connect to Machub it states I need a minimum 3 gb of shared files and immediately disconnects me, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add files to my files list.
Any help?
