I can download at over 600KBytes/sec when direct dlding from the internet.
That doesn't mean that I expect to reach the same speeds in LW.
That's because to reach 600KB, I would have to connect to 6 other users, all of them having about 100KBps for upload bandwidth.
They would also need to be uploading only to me in order for this to work.
