Bah I couldnt get mine started last night so its just now downloading, about 60 KiB/s. How fast does Newsbin d/l at on average?Umm, on average I get around 3.4 megs per second.the 3 cds downloaded in about 30 minutes.Newgroups are like getting an email, so it downloads as fast as you can recieve an email.
