Brandon, I tried that site this morning and I could not get any speeds at all. I just tried it now and was getting speeds up to 500kbps but then it throttled down to 400Kbps. I just did some calculations and I guess I am guilty of never really downloading such a large file. I guess I am just getting spoiled. Last night and earlier today the speeds was 256Kbps at the best.
Thanks. I guess I will just have to be patient. John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia "Remember!
