else seeing this?



I just did a quick test and I get much better results. Obviously, to my office is 5-10 MB/s which is expected since the servers are very close to me. But even downloading to my personal machine at home over a cable modem averaged around 1 MB/s. There's probably a point when you're too far away for pings to accurately model the bandwidth between, but I think you should be getting something better than 10KB/ s anyway.
