jesus christ helm, i got faster speeds from a telephone modem - are you SURE that's your bandwidth?

that's a total waste of bandwidth, but it will tell you your connection speed (to LA
)
for a more useful waste of bandwidth look into bit torrent clients. i've yet to use
azureus, but i hear it's one of the better ones.
torrents and irc are your best bets for downloading anything and everything, tho you often have to jump thru some hoops.
