Actually the speed is being split evenly it's just that the computer that is downloading is asking for more packets than you . The router only looks at the priority of individual packets. So you ask for one and the PC asks for 10. Your one packet has as much priority as one from the PC. I don't think any low end router has the ability to throttle the connection. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
