Personally, I'm interested to know what kind of connection you have that
gets 500-800K per second.
That having been said, it's probably not your system. The nature of the
internet is such that your connection to a site is only as fast as the
slowest point between you and that site, or as fast as congestion at some
point along the path will allow you to go]
Try the same transfer from the same site, at about 3 in the morning. I'll
bet it's much better, then. <G>
