Fastest download ever:
I got the link from TonyT cause he had gotten great speeds from it, it seemed to be very close to us... I got this speed the 4-5 times I tried it.
My upload:

Well Hi there Cableboy, long time no see
About the first picture, It is not possible to get 3 Mega-Bytes per second off of your cable, therefore it's cached, no question
Second of all, your upload IS quite fast, it rivals a T1 line, I know this is true cause you've uploaded to me many a time, so I can vouch for that.
But there is no way you are getting 3MB/sec download, sorry...

No, I did not use a proxy server.
Brent, first of all-
This was *not* a cached download because I got that speed teh first time I downloaded it... then I cleared my temp and downloaded it again. I have even since downloaded it after a reformat, and gotten great speeds.
I will have to video tape it someday.

Unfortunately, this was kind of a burst speed, it leveled at about 500 for the rest of the download. Dunno how to insert images but..
