A favor? Ok downloading pour vous!

Now I am in the middle of d/l a torrent package (new sk00l stuff I learned about whilst watching Tech TV via Ted's Most Excellent Poorly Compressed 100% Digital Cable).

Moz was between 35-40secs; FF was 30-35s. Sorry no stop watch.

Mozilla - started at 160KB/s and ended around 240KB/s for last 20%.

Firefox somehow jumped immediately to 325KB/s and was slightly faster. (not sure how true this number could be)

Both do not share caches!

Now here is one via Microscott..
http://www.microsoft.com/games/empires/downloads.htm
Scroll to TRIAL VIRGIN.
-- Via Netscape - almost immediately hit a 280KB/s cap - 1:21.
-- Via FyreFoxes - around same - capped at about 288-290KB/s

All via DSL. Could try Ted, but all his juices used to leech newsgroups. Sorry, can't spare a square!
