US(NM): 7.23MB/s; business network; UCSD mirror: 23.8MB/s No logs, but the speeds speak for themselves. US(NM): 90 KB/s (24 minutes to download); residential ISP; UCSD mirror: 9.5MB/s (16 seconds to download) As an aside, and as one of the likely instigators of this poll, the slow speeds I've seen (as slow as 10s of kbps) have been sporadic, albeit observed in both the US and Asia from ftp.lyx.org. Note that both of the residential ISP wgets above were made from the same computer, one directly after the next. Note further that the ISP is much derided Comcast Xfinity...
