Download speed of Skype client accelerating!



If the RSS feed of Skype provides correct numbers (and I don’t doubt about it!) we will see in the next days a serious increase of concurrent Skype users online! Indeed, the last days the number of downloads of the Skype client has a main speed of 4200 downloads per minute, and I even saw a speed of 6375 downloads/minute, never saw such a high speed before! (I don’t monitor on a continuous basis, therefore there probably were even higher download speeds!)
Exciting times ahead :-)

Probably linked to Microsoft's emails about the closure of the MSN service. Those emails are being rolled out progressively from comments I've seen on social media.

I think it depends on what country and your internet speed, but as the diagram says, it's really fast, is this kind of speed has a lag still while chatting on skype? also i hope there's a skype theme for us skype addicts!

Bonjour Louis,

Quel genre de questions tu voudrais me poser, le sujet est suffisant?

Bien à toi,

Bonjour Jean,

J'aurais aimé avoir des chiffres sur Skype notamment et la téléphonie en général :
-Nombre d'utilisateur total;
-découpage démographique des utilisateurs;
-Qui et pour quelle raison utilise la vidéo ?;
-...

Merci,

Louis

Pardon, la télévidéo ^^

Louis,
Je ne suis absolument pas en mesure de te fournir ces informations, car je ne suis pas un employé de Skype. Tout ce que tu vois sur mon blog vient soit des « RSS feed » de Skype, soit ce que je lis à droite ou à gauche sur le Web ou sur le blog même de Skype. Il y a belle lurette que Skype ne publie pratiquement plus de données démographiques.
