Well, there goes that theory then. Things are actually starting to
radically speed up here. My guess is the offices closed, and people went
home at 6:00, leaving more available bandwidth, or something like
that. Anyways, the size of my slackware directory is growing at about
7 megs per minute. It's not only bittorrent either, I can actually
browse the web now without much noticeable delay. So, I guess the
trickle is starting to turn into a torrent here after all (grin).
