Hey all,
there's a lot of knowledgable people on this board, especially when it comes to computers. I was wondering approximately how much bandwidth (download/upload) is necessary for a generally pleasant internet surfing experience (like not having to wait for head-fi.org to load or something). The most intensive task in this case would be opening a pdf file from a website.
It probably depends on what kind of fancy schmancy web sites are loaded up, but I'm just looking for a general answer (I'll probably put a safety factor of 2 on it).
I have dsl operating at ~2500 Kb/s upload, ~420 Kb/s download. I'm planning to use a scheduler with mtorrent with some rate limitations, so that it doesn't affect other people who use the network. Basically, I want to know where I can set the download/upload limit so that it does not inhibit surfing the web.
