freshman year of college when my roommate had a T/3 connection he would a dozen or so newsgroups at a time using this one program. I forget the name of the program but our connection was so fast that he could download an entire newsgroup in just a few minutes.

Yeah that sounds about right.

My current t1 line is slow and limps at around 300-500 kbps.

Thats what I use.
