Two notes:
1 - Tinkering around yesterday I down loaded the same file at between 410
and 430 Kbytes /sec on each of the machines
2 - The mass down load accellerators use multiple connections to download
the same file, i have found that it speeds up downloads from the US and
Europe, but if the file is local, say at Paradise, then the accellerator
does slow it down.
