The download peaked at 327k with an average of 270k for me, but I have 7Meg DSL. Could have been faster but running several other bandwidth intensive items at the same time.

Edit: Pretty funny video.

I would get you a time, but it was on my desktop faster than I could get the numbers

Thats with my 6.5Mbps connection, which unlike Duncans has not yet been limited.

And after watching the Ad, I now I didn't need to download it.
Iv seen it far to many times on TV already

Theres actualy a REALLY long history to the Toyota Hilux adds here in NZ.
Back in the dark ages (the 80s) there was a national personality by the name of Barry Crump. He was sort of the ultimate Kiwi hard man, knew his buch lore etc. There was also a TV personality called Scotty. He was sort of the opposite of Barry Crump, a real city boy as it were back then.
The Toyota Hilux had developed a repution in the Farming comunity as being almost indestructable, and Toyota developed a whole series of adds where Barry Crump would find an Excuse to take Scotty on a mad drive over farm land and through the bush.
They started off being very real, a Hilux bashing its way through dense scrub, or jumping over streams and swimming through deep mud. They always features Barry Crump making fun of Scotty while he hung on and screamed in fear.
Then as the 80s lost touch with reality so did the adds, and they started doing things like driving off clifs and huge water falls.
It all ended soon after, with one short run exception in the 90s that shower Barry Crump being driven around the central city by Scotty.

Barry Crump died a few years ago, so Toyota took the concept from old adds and added some new chrachters when the latest model Hilux came out.
Hence the above add

I got 150KB/sec, from New Zealand, it probably would've gone faster if it were bigger, it can take a little while to get up to full speed (200kBps) sometimes.

NZ sucks for broadband. I get 2Mbps down 192kbps up for about US$30/month. I'd pay more for a faster link, especially uplink, but they don't offer it at a reasonable price - if they do at all it'd cost hundreds of dollars per month.

going through T1 on the school network, I was getting about 80KBS

Acrss the ocean (Im in the office, about 400 (yes, that's four HUNDRED) mbps bandwidth splitted on several carriers (3 international @ 100 mbps) and it came in at about 750 kbps. Your limit, not mine, I guess

Scottes · 30th of November 2005 (Wed)

I got about 140 Kb/s on a 6-meg cable. Pretty funny video.

Carzee · 30th of November 2005 (Wed)

Let me guess, this is the one with bulls driving the HiLux and they avoid the cattle grid etc?

JonathanS · 30th of November 2005 (Wed)

I got around 250kb/s from my cable connection at home, funny video.
