Personally, I'm running an uncapped, async speed full duplex cablemodem (a bit rare, but I choose the modem carefully with an eye to finding a full duplex modem.. most cablemodems are half duplex). Top speed downloads have peaked at over 800 kbs though 500 is more realistic to expect normally. Uploads vary quite a bit, but I don't have problems sustaining 200-300, and can earily peak at 400 or somewhat more. Typically I get ~1/2 to ~2/3 of my current download speed for my upload speed. Not bad for <$50/month US (though some might get slightly higher performance... when I first got the setup, I could occasionally pull just under 1Mbs speeds, close to the limit of the 10bT interface on my firewall).

What type of connection are you using? I'm using v3.2.1b on a heavily used T3 and still getting uploads of 700KB/s. When I downloaded Tuesday morning it was running around 600KB/s. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
