My cable ISP replaced the Com21 modem by a Surfboard 3001i (and also made changes in his servers), well here the good news: can download from a local FTP at 450/550 KBytes/second means 3600/4400 Kbites/second, and from outisde the country I got a place at Florida that let me downloaded mIRC at 150 KBytes/second = 1200 kbites/second, the bad news are that from other sites the speed sucks and went down to 6 Kbytes/second, and that now my IP is not more fixed, is reassigned every time by the server, I was used to the old one...
They told me they are working in the international connection to improve it an make more stable, just seat and wait...
Time to learn is endless

Well, the the problem is the more people who get broadband, the more things downloaded. But the more things downloaded means slower downloads, as the weakest link in the chain isn\'t any server, its just part of the connection, and that means slow speeds. I was downloading the Daicrapitana patch the other day, and any site I tried (wel there where 2) hovered around 12k. One site was in LA, and I\'m in Phoenix, hust to give you an idea of the sucktitude. Just trying to use Chams word of the week.
Postscript: Hey, Josetann, I asked the message board to send me a temp pass as I forgot my old one, and it never sent it. Do you have the wrong email addy for me or something? I put in my current addy and it said password sent, but never did. Anyway, if you could, send my pass to my email: [email protected]
