I thought I'd experienced fast broadband

Just to twist the knife even deeper into CG's wounds. Since labs were cancelled in Uni I thought I'd grab some big files before heading home tonight in the 2 hours I have spare. Just went to download Windows Server 2008 and Ubuntu via Imperial's connection and 1.75GB came down from Microsoft at a steady rate of 11MB/s (that's megabytes) so whole ISO was down in 3 minutes flat. Although downloading 600MB from Ubuntu (via HEANET) it's downloading at 2.2MB/s so I suspect that IC may have a local mirror for the DreamSpark stuff. Imperssive non-the less though, mind you this is a Uni with their own personal fibreoptics to the States and Europe...
I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it. - Chris Maunder

We are on HEANET at work and it rocks. One advantage of being part of a university/college.
