Dear Cameron,

Two days ago a friend of mine send me an audio file ("Seet Home
Alabama", by the way, ;-). I was using Gaim with the MSN
protocol because my friend uses Windows. My internet
connection is 1024 kbps, I have a little LAN at home and my other two
workstations were turned off, so my bandwidth was not penalized, and my
download speed never raised 6.3 kbps. I really don't think this is
normal. Even more, every time this friend send me some file via MSN
Messenger-Gaim (MSN plugin) the same speeds are reached.

Before someone points it out, I must say that my friend's internet connection is also 1024
kbps.
 
Any clue?

I think I know the reason but I will reserve my thoughts.


Yours very truly,
