you could probably download a full 700MB CD in 10minutes.
IF the source server could keep up. :)

I noticed that the speeds are a bit different dependant on where your pinging to.
Mine's about average got cable. STILL better than dialup (Thanks to the Wife convincing me to get off the satelite).

Interestingly enough, I get better upload and download rates to London than I do to DC.....



Well no I lied, I ran it again, but I still have effectively the same upload time to London....
