The vast majority of the servers on the web can't get close to those speeds. About the average for the majority I have used seems to be around 70>90Kbps. I have found a few that could hit close to 130Kbps. The only limiter I have is the 100Mbps network card in my computer. It still took me about twenty-four hours to download the DVD for 10.2. Best speed I saw from the server was 70Kbps and for most of the download it was more like 50>60Kbps. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
