Comment Just use more small vehicles (Score 1) 688

You have an 8 lane crowded highway and you want to transfer a ton of small packets over it. Why use a big convoy of trucks and wait like 98% of idiots out there? Didn't you notice something strange... those motorists that are laughing at your face and passing you by all the time? Why not use them as the means of transport? Maybe because they are expensive in real world, but in digital that's not the case...

I use them. I use software like ReGet that doesn't put out one connection for a truckload of data. It creates in my case by default minimal of 32 (or in serious congestions even 64 and 100+) connections and downloads them all at the same time. It's like a ton of motorists transferring your data around slow moving trucks. I never get less than 100% of my 2Mbit downlink downloading this way.
