thanks BioSlayer. i came here one day, checking in on posts, when i noticed the site thats has my avatar went down. ive been using this on other sites so i thought id upgrade here as well. and yes if it wasnt for the Defiant, i think ds9 would of went south real quick. it needed that mobility that the next generation had.
t1... LUCKY! i only got dsl becuase they had a good deal where i live. that and i really begged my wife to let me get it . i am very happy with the results. 56k just doesnt cut when im trying to download 10mb files on up. im so stoked...
~DEFIANT
ps: how fast can you download, say a 100mb file? i havent tried to yet but im itching to download something... he he

also to add some more info on my sudgestion about the DL of anime. they are fansubs so the original japanese audio is still there but subtitles apear on screen to tell you what they are saying. so you have to be a decently fast reader or very quick on the pause button.
with my T1 i have DL over 350 gigs of anime. now all i need is money to buy each series that has been bought by a US company.
also http://www.animenfo.com is a good sight to find out what each anime is about.

If it's a connection to another participating university, I2 has connection speeds that are pretty fast. I love DL'ing stuff from university of Minnisota's SF mirror. My home connection is 0 bits/second. Yeah, that's right, 0! No one can have any higher mulitple of my home speed.

I just got 256k per second. Now whenever I use a dial-up, I just can't take it.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

My computer at work? Well, we're on the Internet2, so if I'm browsing off hours I basically have three or four T3 lines at my disposal. I consider it a pretty sweet setup.
At home? No computer.

D_999 - Nice setup - but does it not get to the point to where you don't notice the difference between T1 and T3 lines? (when it comes to normal surfing - NOT downloads) I mean - don't you like max out the servers and-or your computer? Either way - nice setup.....
