[R-390] R-390A Y2K-R2 - in ONE BIG FILE!

Dan,

I got it with about the same speed using cable.  Downloads are fast if there
are no bottlenecks in my routing to a site, and the site is able to send
data that fast. You would be surprised at your Internet routing if you ran a
utility to see how you get connected.

Another option to cable/DSL would be to use something like Speed Download
for files that size on a dialup connection. Speed Download is for the Mac,
but I'm sure there must be dozens of the same utility out there for Windows.
You run Speed Download, tell it how many download ports to open, and then
paste the download address in. If you tell it to open 10 ports, it will
contact the download address 10 times to start 10 segment concurrent
download. It pieces the 10 parts together when finished. It saved a lot of
time before I got cable service.
