Well. What internet connection do you have? I'd personally like to know, so I could limit sizes of pictures on my site, or other sites I build (UltraPure Group's, ect.) I am sure that WeST or others could find this info useful too!

I will go first. I have RoadRunner Cable connection, running at 2.5Megs per second, and download speeds at 600k/sec.
Downloaded the 1Mb file in 3.3 seconds.

BTW! Vote with your connection speed, because download speeds vary with servers.
If you don't know, here is a speed test:

56K with blazing download rates of almost 6kb per second. Oh yeah now that is speed &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

ISP = Roadrunner

1.9 megs/sec

580 kb/sec

(according to the test)

I've reached peak download speeds of about 900k/sec, but that's off really fast university servers (TT, UTEP, MIT, etc.)

I have Shaw Cable and I downloaded the 1 Meg in 7.6 seconds at 1.1 megs/sec. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

That should be about right considering that I'm downloading crap at the mommet.

572.2 kilobits per second c/o ADSL through Verizon I believe. I downloaded a 1mb file in 14.7 seconds. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Compared to all connection types worldwide, yours is fantastic</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

College LAN, it's pretty fast until they cap it. Sometimes I DL at almost a MB/sec, sometimes it's slower than dial up <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
