btw--the speed tests look like this

Your download speed : 4639517 bps, or 4530 kbps.
A 566.3 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 789400 bps, or 770 kbps.
The units can be confusing
bps (bits per second)
kbps (bits divided by 1024 give you kilobits)
KB/s (kilobits converted to Kilo BYTES per second by dividing by 8)

Most of the time here, and in LimeWire displays, speeds are shown in KB/s

so my results would look like 566/96 KB/s (downloading/uploading)

Confusing, eh?
