Of course all things are relevant and download speed is highly dependent on the servers you're downloading from, traffic, and a dozen other variables. With my cable broadband connection I would estimate that while using prozgui I usually average 200kb/s - 300kb/s. I don't put much faith in the "how fast is my connection" sites- that doesn't tell you anything more than your connection speed to their server. What impresses me is that it can automatically discover for itself whether the servers you're connected to are capable of resuming a broken download or not and will look for servers taht fit that parameter if instructed to do so. Also the fact that prozgui automatically looks for other servers and can get parts of a file from different sources and magically combine all of those parts from several servers into one complete file. I don't beleive that the occasional incorrect md5sums I've had were related to prozgui but rather a bad .iso posted on the server(s) or network problems. prozgui has always worked flawlessly for me.

Of course DSL (or more likely ADSL) isn't as fast as cable but it's so much better than dial-up it's not even funny. What are your average download/upload speeds?

I beleive that it isn't even possible to get 56k out of dial-up. The max AFAIK is 52k- how abysmal is that!?
