-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks. I was always under the impression that KbpS and Kb/S were both interchangeable, and stood for Kilobytes per second. I notice that lynx the cat reports download speeds in Kb/s, while the statistics page of my ADSL modem reports the speed in KbpS. Knowing that they're both different, and that one is Kilobits, while the other is Kilobytes, 1360 KbPs is a lot closer to 1536 KbpS. Doing some calculations shows me that I should be getting 192 Kb/S max, but I suppose I should take into account the bandwidth of other machines, and the latency of the net in general.
