Re: 56k speedup

[Glenn Schunemann]

I've seen these bogus s/w dealies before. It's a joke. The s/w tells 
you it's moving at a certain speed. I remember something similar 
happened at a major university I was working at years ago. Our 
networking guy took screens shots of what the modem was doing on the 
ISP side and it was showing the traditional 3-5k transfer, while the 
guys computer at home was saying some ridiculously higher k transfer. 
It's bogus.

Bruce was right. Just make sure there is no static on your line and 
cross your fingers...

Heh, I knew all that, but it was a different application that reported

speeds.  I did the math with the time it took and how large the file

and it was correct.  That's why the question...
Here's another weird observation, near the end of some downloads, like 
the
last 500k or so, it'll report downloading at 11k o.O
