I am trying to download some high res tif photos(example)from the loc website but I'll be damned if I get a download rate over 2kB/sec, usually it slows down to less then 900 bytes/sec and times out.

Could you guys try to download the tif of Edison's lab and tell me if you are getting the same thing, it could just be me...

Just tried it twice... worked fine. Very quick download.

hmm, for some reason it is bottlenecking on it's way here

Yea mine took about a minute tops.

47 seconds on not-so-great Comcast internet.

damn work has a fat pipe... only 10 seconds

Yep 10 sec download

Its workin now, I don't know what was slowing it, getting like 200 kB/sec which is about the size of my tube here in the dorm
