If I run a 10MB/s line at home, for instance, is it possible to connect from the office, to my own network, and actually download files through my own network; from my office? Kind a sucks, the office got a line on over a 250 mb/s, and downloading stuff there would been awesome, but Rapidshare is blocked, as usual.
I was wondering though, if it's possible to just download files through my own network, through my proxy server basically?
It is absolutely possible. Remember that your download speed is only half the equation. The 10MB/s will affect how fast your home computer receives the file, but the upload speed is normally slower and will affect how long it takes for the file to be sent to you at your work network.
ReplyDeleteI would also test various proxy ports to see if one is faster than another (or blocked as is the case in some work networks). QoS may offer varying speeds.
