i see you made these tests at noon (15:30 - 16:30) - on what day of the week? i usually do my downloads in the evenings/late at night (connected to actcom via ADSL) and get quite higher rates (thought i _think_ that an http download i tried now of the mandrake iso you mentioned, which gave me 150KB/sec, was from actcom's proxy). -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
