but you wont be getting it at the prices you pay now, hence why adsl2 services are more costly, because you can get a lot more than 300 in a month, and anyone who sits there legal or otherwise, for an entire month 24/7 doing 160-170 kB/s non stop, is more in need of a life than me :)
Hint: You need not sit in front of you monitor for the downloads to run and complete.
?? who said anything abou that, you been around long enough to know what was meant by my comment :)
I darn near have to; stuck like Chuck in the toolies with a 56k modem that I have to run at 28.8 for it to make the trip... if I go off to mow the lawn, you can bet your socks I would have been disconnected or yum wants a "Yes" when I forgot to tell it to blast away. "wget -c" is my friend nowadays. It'll resume like the old zmodem would. N I C E ! ! Even after the dnload got completely interrupted and died. She'll pick right back up where she left off. If I could get "smart' to use wget and get one file at a time while resuming from any interuption, life would be totally total. :) Ric
