I am on dialup and am upgrading my system. Synaptic (the GUI updater) tells me that I am downloading this at around 5,000 bytes per second and that at this speed it will take about 4 1/2 hours to complete. Now sometimes the download speed will increase to 10,000 bytes per second (which decreases the completion time considerably) but that only lasts for a couple of seconds. I was wonderring if there was anything I could do to keep the download speed at 10K or if my provider could do something to keep it at that speed? -- <:-)~MIKE~(-:>
