256Kbps is standard upload in the UK correct, and yes using upload does limit the download to about the same bandwidth. This is due to the design of the ADSL modems/routers putting any ACK packets on the downloads at the end of the queue for stuff to be sent out, so its behind the uploading data. If you implement QoS you can work around it though-- see lartc.org john _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
