When doing a download test is there a way to get around powerboost so I can get my true download speed?

i think it stops after 10 or 20 mb but you can try this test and see how it is.

Thanks for the reply. I just try it, but it a bad time of the day to do a speed test on the east coast.One time I got 9783 than 8721 than 6378.I will try again later. What I am trying to do is get a dual test so I can change my sig from two boxes to one box. Thanks again.

Alright I looked up some of the tech stuff posted on the net about "SpeedBoost".. What it looks like they are doing is taking left over bandwidth and applying it to large file downloads...  This boost lasts 1/4 to 1/2 of the total file size.. I am not sure how they are calculating this but that is what they are saying..  So the amount of boost depends on network load completly.. My guess is that you can not turn it off..  BTW it only applies to HTTP/FTP traffic not torrent or p2p  cry
