Hi All;
I've been using the download of this image to test my connection speed
on DSL and it seems pretty poor to me:

It's 1,787,955 bytes and the best time I can get on DSL is 2:20 (140 Sec).
That's with A1.66 and Bell high speed internet connection.
With my dial-up connection running @ 31200 I get it in 10:06 (606 Sec)
using A1.62.
Does my DSL speed suck or is this normal ? They claim up to 1.5 Mb/sec.
I think I'm getting 130Kb/sec. :((
I've tried 4 different NICs - 3 were 100Mbps and the above time is
the best I could do.
I know code red is wasting bandwidth, but surely it would have affected
the dial-up time proportionally - and it seems normal.
