    Firefox 23 often shows the speed of downloads as 'infinity GB/sec'. I saw this sometimes with older versions as well. Strange bug.

            Chrome and IE(!) display a more correct number (usually around 90kb/s. On broadband. Thanks, Frontier Communications). I often go to Ivy Tech just to get speeds of around 3+mb/s. Yes, 3+mb/s.

              IE actually displays a logical number. This is just a FF bug (or possibly joke). I also have seen 'i GB/sec', '-infinity GB/s', and 'NaN GB/s'. I think someone at Mozilla might have a sense of mathematical humor.

                Looks like you are not downloading from the internet, you are downloading THE internet :) Practically - it's probably a bug with the bytes\KB\MB\GB convertion - when a double is too large, it ruturens Infinity as the numeric value [^]

                    :wtf:

                    -- If money is your hope for independence, you cannot reach it. Being loved gives you strength, while loving gives you courage.
