I think it means that your uploading was interfering with your downloading. You might have gotten better speed with the upload set to the default 20 KB/s. Via a cable modem here, I downloaded FC5t3 with my upload set to 40 KB/s and watched the download and upload speeds oscillate in opposite phase. I downloaded FC5 with my upload set to the default 20 KB/s and download and upload speeds were stable. I restarted after the download completed, setting the upload to 60 KB/s (the highest I observed was about 45 KB/s), and uploaded 3 copies (over several days) before stopping. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
