RE: modem connect speeds (was Re: [SLUG] Telstra ADSL RIP-OFF)

When leeching the debian Alpha isos over our dingoblue 56k connection to
mirror.aarnet we had 6.5-7.0k/s for 3 days straight.
It was awesome. I dunnno why that was happening but it was definitely so.
The average out over 3 days was correct too. So it wasn't just crazy client
figures.  Go dingo! :)
