THIS IS NOT A FLAME, DON'T SAY IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

§on, to me your statement of being able to download 100mb in 20 minutes, and 500mb in 45, made no sense at all. It would take 100...simple math.

and this may very well be a flame...but who ever said it was constant?? broadband is like driving on the autobahn with stoplights every few kilometers :) mmmm analogy....im so tired...someone hit me.(course his math may just suck and i could be spouting out my Rectum)

Broadband is nice, I'm on 3Mb corporate DSL at home, but there ain't nothing like a real pipe. We've got 4 OC-48's into the office at work, with 100Mb Full-Duplex ethernet from the routers to my desk. Oh the wonders of working for a backbone provider.

I think speeds of cable modems vary alot from place to place.

I used to be on dialup, it sucked. Downloading at 2.6kbps . Now I'm at school and we have multiple OC-3s. The network running through my dorm is only 10 base-t though. :( My download speeds are all over the place, it really depends on the server. I've seen speeds over 750k a second a number of times. Not much higher than that though.

I dont really care for kazaa. I still use it though :\ It's a pain to find someone who isn't on dialup. And nobody knows how to rip cds either. Try out direct-connect. You'll find a lot more stuff on that than kazaa. It's a little harder to use though.
