What is bandwidth? Got anything to do w/ Volume of mp3?

LX98Civic · 07-12-02, 10:07 AM

When using kazaa I see "bandwidht" with different numbers ranging from 1 - 548

Can someon please explain what exactly that means?

Does it have something to do with the loudness of the mp3?
I just DL'ed a 128k/b song and it's pretty low compared to my other 128k/b mp3s. 128 k/b is about the best you can get on kazaa.

Thanks for any input!

it has nothing to deal with the frequency, (128/b), bandwidth is just a measure of how fast your peer is. ie- 548, most likely a
T-1+

bandwidth of 1 is like turtle speed.

I always just looked at ETA (Expected Time Arrival)

I wonder why some say 0:54 and take 10 minutes to DL
