Kory, Yes, I am on Cox cable. I am not sure about bits or bytes. I never really gave it a lot of thought since, when I was on dial up, 2 to 4 kbps was the norm. I just know that generally anything over 40 to 50 under Windoze is usually "smokin'" so I was just delighted at 190 kbps. Explorer was forecasting less than an hour to download the iso.

Ed, Are you running over a cable? It looks like a sustained transfer speed that is close to the modem cap implemented by Cox. Strange thing is that I get ~330 kbs with DSL...or are we talking bits vesus bytes? -K --- "Richards, Ed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I started download LibraNet during lunch, at 190 > kb/sec (gotta love > broadband!), and will install it tonite.
