Hai guys, is this true or not?

Test Download this file
https://extrohosting.com/50mb.bin
and see your speed

Please use browser to download, not any internet download managers

I got 10mb/s and 2 others got 5.7mb/s

It is so strange

and the host has shown as:

I get the file in less than 1 second.
Seems like the file is just a bunch of equal information and what you download is just compressed.
 
downloading to my home pc, which has never in the past 3 years breached 1.6mb/s
suddenly @ 10mb/s .. is strange and miraculous :S
 
Basically, he doing what singlehop is doing which is considering cheating.

Basically this guy tried to download speed test file, and got faster transfer rate than the maximum of his physical link. And after investigation,

  1. The 500MB tar.gz file turns out to be null-padded throughout.
  2. Test file is served through HTTPS, using SSL's built-in compression, to achieve the appearance of ridiculously high speed, even though the actual bandwidth used is a lot smaller.
So there you go. Don't always trust the test file from the provider -- they might make wget download test appears faster than it actually is.

Ye, it's actually on the Chrome. I've tested on both browsers (FF & CH). On FF I got normal download speed, but on chrome, I've got a speed about 10.3MB/s that's 5x higher than my guarantee speed.

Scamm'a
