I panicked then and screen came up and said "thank got it was just a joke". Now when i downloading i getting like 15k/s. With a 51,000 bps connection. I used to just get 5k/s.

The numbers don't equate, but there are no absolutes I suppose. If you downloaded 100 megs in 2 hours, you must have hit on something somehow. If you bottle it you can become rich.

Wow, 6 Mbits/s. And during cruchtime.

When downloading "junk" off the internet, it depends much on who you are downloading from. Sometimes you just hit a good connection and I have seen 30 - 40 k/s average and up on a dial pool. Internet connection, not a null modem connection. Weirder things have happened.
