Speed Rules
While I thought my 640k connection at home was cool, I'm visiting out in California for a few days and Tim has 1.5Mb DSL. The extra 3X is great, as is not worrying about using the connection too much (I get yelled at if I use too much more than 300MB in a day).

So out here, in just one day we managed to download Fedora Core 3, Caos Linux, and FreeBSD 5.3. Except for Caos, we downloaded everything with Bittorrent which totally rocked. Even without inbound connections, there were plenty of seeds and out bandwidth use pegged in minutes. 160KB/sec is a sight to behold and we managed to grab about 4+GB in less than half a day. I soo need to upgrade my connection at home. Plus I'll probably need more hard drive space ...
Keep those legal torrents going.
