I think there is a problem with their spped averaging algorithm. Unless you got the entire show in about 5 minutes, you didn't get 4000KB/sec

Was it Kb or KB? Kb is kilobits and KB is kilobyte and we all know that a KB is bigger. Each byte is 8 bits so you can do the math,.

4000 Kb roughly translates to 500 KB, which is still a fantastic speed to dl a show with.

Yesterday morning, mine started at around 1100, but by the 2nd track it was down in the 500's. Still a good speed. And we know what kind of load the server will be under in the next few weeks when the d+t shows get on there. We'll be wishing for more bandwidth.

Only 70 KB/S, but not bad
