ARRK. Everyones 56K is faster than my home 56K! Probly cos nobody knows what it is so I cant get good drivers for it. But 11KB/s sounds fast, what kind of files? Only text will compress enough for 11KB/s Or, with really small files (anything much under 30 seconds) the rate given is so innaccurate it hurts, my 56K regularly reports well over a hundred for the first split second. Its because the file download starts a bit before the machine starts counting.
