    really depends on how many seeders you have and stuff, and the traffic going on, thats the best time to download stuff trust me, remember times when you got amazing bandwidth

    well except for me it was an increase from my normal 100kbps to 350kbps!

    my internet is rated at 1.5 down... yah I normally only get max 100kbps... if I am really luck I used to be able to get 160kbps.

    I wish I could get Comcast's advertised speed... and I used to work for them.

    Problem is, they won't replace the stretch of hardline that got damaged a few years ago a block away, and it's screwing the signal to my whole block.

    I'm the only guy in my neighbourhood with RG-11 and and amp though.
