    if you have a 1megabit connection, it doesn't mean you will download at 1000kb/s! 456 is bloody good.

    I am on a 512k connection at home, my downloads are usually between 50 - 65k/second.

    remember, connections are rated at kiloBITS or megaBITS per second, not bytes :)

    Juski is right.

    And messenger is often slow, and can depend on alot of things as to why its slow!

    yeah, it's awesome. They dont even have any sort of filter on what you can/can't look at. You cant use .exe files or install anything on the uni pc's tho :mad:
