I've just download the latest Fedora Core iso (both i386 and x86_64) both at @work (Barak) and @home (Netvision). @Home (1.5/512), the average download speed was around 70kb/s. @Work (2.0/128, I've got my own private DSL), the average download speed was ~30kb/s. BTW, in both cases the uploaded was capped to 50% of the maximum upload rate. - Gilboa ================================================================= 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]
