you realise how low 0.5meg/sec is tho?

for a machine to run that low it would have to be a very extreme problem. even a unoptimised network connection running at 10mbit half duplex could easily surpass 0.5meg/sec.

I have a 486 that can test at about 2meg/sec on speedtest,net with the fash saturating the cpu.
