P.S. I feel cheated. I'm supposed to be able to get 10Mbs downstream,
and that means 34Mbytes should take 34 seconds, right? It took me 38
minutes to download 18Mbytes! };> If I didn't know how internet works,
I might actually be disappointed. I doubt the doze cable users on the
system know the difference. <G>

That's megabits, not megabytes. One byte = 8 bits, or maybe 9 or 10 if there is
parity. At 56 K, if everything's going smooth, I get 1 MB in 5 minutes, or
270 KB/min if the download is really flying. So 18 MB would normally take
90 min, or 67 min if really flying, or much longer if download is crawling as
sometimes happens.

Ca 80Kbytes/sec then, not bad at all. For instance to download an entire CD
it will take you a little less than 2 and a half hours.

Bernie, your math is off! That was 8 KB/sec. A CD has capacity of 650 or
680 MB, so the download, figuring 38 min for 18 MB, would take near 24 hours.

That's "Don't you hate taglines that require effort?" spelled backwards without
punctuation, Yes! I solved that quickly, wish my downloads could be so quick.
L.D., regarding trouuble with Insight, you need something where you get the
source code and can modify if desired. It looks like you need Linux. Or is
Insight open-source too?
