Are you saying that is a slow speed? I think that's probably around the average download speed most people see. All my friends get around that, on connections from DSL to cable. Though I got over 500k on wireless on my college campus.

22KB/s is fast to you? Wow...I get at least 800K down on my cable connection...usually around 1000, and peaks at 1600.

Looks about normal up to 50 K/s Sometimes things go really weird and downloads at lightspeed.

Also you might want to try Azureus.

More controls and info on your downloads,

Not me, I had a certain 6 gig image range from 20 BYTES to 75K/sec.

In the end it took 3 days.

Did it start with an i and end with a 6?
