WOW! that is excellent for a 56K, horrible for a CBM :P

Maybe that was just a burst transfer speed? I think back when I had a 56K if I was lucky I could get that fast in Napster. When I got the CBM, Napster preformed the best. Now I got Morpheus and my downloads often crawl makeing me jealous of that 10.77k/s

Maybe you connected to a T1 or T3?
