How can i tell if my net connection is as fast as it should be?
It's supposed to be 1mb as from today, yet it just seems the same to me.

rasko, i didnt time my downloads before.. i just let them get on with it while i picked my nose.

yeah but it should tell you how many bytes per sec in the download manager or in your status bar - thats on a mac btw
expect to get upto around 120kbs depending on what server you're on - try apple quicktime movie trailers
