Eddie info question

[snaggle 25]

Hi all,

I have been using Eddie since release.

I guess I really should know this already.

On Eddies server screen I understand the Latency/ping value and also the load.

How do I read the speed ie, 263/1000 Mbits/s ? I figure a higher figure is better what I'm unclear on is the /1000 number.

This means that the server is currently using 263 out of maximum 1000 Mbit/s.

Generally, you would like to use the best available server in terms of latency

and available bandwidth, and Eddie recommends automatically best available

servers in each country, according to some other metrics.

Hi Zhang888,

Thanks for the response.

Ok so my assumption of a higher number preceding the /1000 is wrong!!

For me its a trade off between speed and number of users, hiding in a crowd, obviously the bigger the crowd the better but the bigger the crowd the more the load.

Thankfully Eddie provides all the relevant data so we can make informed choices.
