216/kbs

216kbs / 8 = 27Kb/s so 27 Kb/s would be you maximun DL speed so 20 is pretty good for your connection.

Then I guess no one wants to know that on some recent files I was d/ling 50 at a time and many of them with up to the CAP of 10 hosts and a combined d/l speed of 150 to 230. That is on a slow DSL connection. Got rid of Cable and do better with DSL.

Hi deacon72

Long time no see good to see you are still around.
