Things to keep in mind before complaining about your network speed: + connection ratings are often in kilobits per second and download speeds are often in kilobytes per second (so an 800kbs connection is limited to a theoretical 100kBs). + your speed is limited not just by the speed of your connection, but also that of the machine you are connected to (and any machines between you and it) + TCP/IP has a decent amount of overhead that is not normally displayed in download managers (especially if you are using NAT) + it is possible that packets are being lost and retransmitted (you can use tools like mtr to see what sort of packet loss you are experiencing and at what point the loss is occuring) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
