      How about the Platform SDK and all its friends? That should keep it occupied for 20 minutes. It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

        Not sure what connection we have at work, but the other day I was getting down load speeds in excess of 200K per second :omg:. I watched a 20Mb file download like a 20kb file would at home. I was gob smacked. --- Peter M

            Good idea. I think the one I have is from early last year. Don't know if there are many changes, but now seems a good time to get up to date.

                      Sadly I only get 60kb/sec on my Cable, my ISP has a low cap on the modems. :(( "We will thrive in the new environment, leaping across space and time, everywhere and nowhere, like air or radiation, redundant, self-replicating, and always evolving." -unspecified individual

                          Than sounds like a 2Mbit connection. At home I have a 2Mbit ADSL where I often see download-speeds at 220K :) The fastes I have ever tried to download was at an office I was visiting, we needed Win2k SP3, so we downloaded it directly from MS. 8.5MB per second :eek: - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

                            Must be nice. We have a T-1 at work. Outside the core hours of 9:00 to 3:00, you can usually get ~100K/second (yes, the IS guys limit our bandwidth :mad: ). During the core hours, when all the Marketing weasels run their stock-ticker-in-the-tray and auto-pr0n-downloader gizmos, it falls to under 20K/second. I once downloaded a 1.8_G_ file from MSDN; it took about 30 hours.

                              I'm normally on 128K, so 600K makes a huge difference.

                                The best I have seen was at University. The University's directly connected to the backbone, so downloads flew. :eek:
