Just for fun: I downloaded the Combo 10.3.6 , using a PM9600/350, OS9.1, 576MB RAM, Fast-ADSL Once in IE 5.1.7 and once in iCab Pre 2.98 DL in IE took 12min. 41sec DL in iCab took 3min. 14sec. All the same: Mac, OS, connection, the file (92MB), just the browsers differs. Funny, isn't it??
Shade over 2 minutes on a pc with cable using IE. Peak transfer 638kb/sec.
Why would anyone run IE on OSX as a benchmark or be surprised at the result? The last release for BetaX was 5.2.3 which was let loose on an unsuspecting public over *15 months ago* - support has since been dropped for the Mac port. You have Safari embedded like every other NixOS finally, geez that took a while.
Which browser renders pages better? Whats wrong with Konqueror (I think you call it Safari) or one of the Mozilla releases?
Timing a FTP transfer may make an interesting comparision - just for fun.
