Quick download

I got my cable modem upgraded a few weeks back. The overall speed is limited by many things on the Internet, so generally I've been pleased, but not impressed. But five minutes ago somebody sent me a 94MB file via yousendit.com, and it was downloaded in 45 seconds! Over 2MB per second. When I think back to modem days, if you even cared to attempt such a file and succeeded, that would be more like 12 hours.

  1. I was going to say you're spoiled by modern technology, but you seem to remember the good ol' days accurately, and I don't think that happens if you're spoiled.

  2. I don't think I am, at least I am in near constant awe.
