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!
