parallel downloads is the answer imho. ( or at least one of the
answers :) )
Parallel downloads crush a lot of network connections. Dial up is one in
particular.
i see. this happens only on slow connections?
I can download stuff from my local IAP, one one connexion, at 1.2-1.7
Mbytes/sec.
I wouldn't expect two network connexions to download noticeably faster,
but it would increase latency at my end: I can only receive one packet
at a time.
I _might_ do better if I use parallel downloads from more servers, but I
figure if I do that I make things worse at the server and on the network
between. Besides, I _know_ some public ftp (and rsync) server operators
object to parallel connexions from a single IP address. I don't need to
be banned for 24 hours.
