Wow. Good to see normal users are taken into account. The main argument from a distro point of view is reducing load on servers, but I don't know many people on 150Mbs either. Heck, I've just tested my work janet connection and that's <100Mbs in our office. At home 8Mbps is a good day. (I'm assuming mbs is a typo for Mbps and not milli bit seconds, where the very slow transfer speed declines exponentially as the connection progresses.) -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
