A better method of approximation would be clocking the time taken for download a couple of files rather than relying on the graph on your download program. Also text downloads are normally compressed , so in that case your graph may exceed 8KB/s or even 10KB/s. -- Clifford -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
