Hello,

Just curious, what is considered a safe, but good download and upload speed? By safe I mean below the radar, before your ISP sends you a warning? Because from how I understand it, if they  see you downloading or uploading large files at high speed, then you get flagged, right? Thanks.

Bozobub:
Thgere's no way anyone can answer that for you.  We don't know your ISP, bandwidth, or any of that mess.  You expect psychics..?

kojito00:
Oh, haha, I didn't know about that. In general, though, if you were to give an example, what would it be?

gits:
Kojito, there is nothing like general example and what warning do you mean?
If you mean warning because you are downloading/uploading over limit it really depends on the internet package you chose.
And if you mean warning because you are downloading illegaly anime then it depends on country you live in and ISP.

Yep, the second part of your question nails it. I was wondering because, say, if you were downloading a file that's quite large at max speed, then I thought your ISP would be looking at that and say, "hmmmm....," right? I mean, that's like a large bleep in the radar, no? Or at least that's what I thought. But let's redo it from the top; if you were from the USA and your ISP is Comcast or AT&T with whatever bandwidth is popular with a regular household (say, if it was your bandwidth), then how fast would you limit your UL/DL?

P.S.,

What I mean with the second part of your response refers to downloading anime illegally; this came to mind because I saw a 1080p Black Lagoon here, on BakaBT, and on the comment section most people were saying that it's licensed, so I became curious. Thank you for the replies!
