I was recollecting the day we were carrying out these
experiments of downloading distros (CD ISOs). I
remember, you started downloading it on your laptop
(with Sabayon) when the signal strength was quite
good. 

When I started, the signal strength was good, but not
better than yours. (indicated by Windows XP's network
monitor tool). As soon as I started the download, our
speeds were almost divided into two halves, and I got
nearly 700 Kbits/ sec. 

As suggested by Nagarjuna Sir, we need to carry out
benchmark reports and suggest / find out improvements.


Secondly, since this is a wireless mesh, a torrent
client may prove a better client for downloading stuff
instead of browsers. A better distributed system.
