But in Napster you can select your connection speed. I always say that I'm
on a 14.4 modem. Quite a few people do this. When I searched for a song and
can't get a good download from the T1/3, cable, etc. I go for 14.4's or the
unknowns. I can get some good speeds out of them. If you want to keep
Napster going, but want to discourage people using it, set your connect to
33.6k - it's more realistic than 14.4.
