I haven't had any major problems with smaller-ish files off Interware. Of
course, I'm mainly uploading, now downloading so often.

Gurth, how is your speed to Fortunecity? I have enough room there to host
at least a mirror of the current issue of TSS.

Hi all,
Yesterday I had the pleasure of downloading PS'98. First I tried to get it
from Fortunecity. After an hour of downloading and less than 2Megs worth I
quit. The speed never got above 1.2 Kb per second. I tried the Interware
site, and got the program in less than an hour, download speeds reaching
over 2.2 KB per second, lowest speed was 1.9 KB per second. Everytime I
download from Fortunecity I get slow speeds.

That works okay, as far as I can tell. Uploading, at least, goes smooth
enough, so I guess downloading won't be too much of a problem either.
