I'm 76% through the download after 50 minutes from The Apex http://gpl.gamestats.com/ That's at a steady idicated 3.1k/sec in netscape on my old 1995 vintage USR sportster 33.6 internal, which is actually connected at 28.8 right now. I'm just curious if those of you with 56k modems actually get significant download speed increases over the speeds I'm seeing. BTW, one friday afternoon at work a few weeks ago, I downloaded a 20mb avi in less than 2 minutes over the LAN. The highest indicated speed by netscape was over 110k/sec. This was from an internet site, I swear, not a private intranet. Man that was unreal. Two bad I haven't got a zip drive in at work yet.

Connected at 46,600 with a USR 56.6, the download took approx 1hr 15 min from http://gpl.gamestats.com/. Of course time of day has much to do with download times. My download started at 11:45 PM PST Cheers Robert Lusk ......Habanero Racing
