Maybe it's because we don't know any better, Vic, but I'm so glad you spoke up. I was getting a little paranoid because I was pretty happy with my 6.05 download and my .63 upload and had no idea I was supposed to be concerned with those numbers.
I haven't had a problem loading images either, nor do I have a problem opening Dave's audios or videos.
Lickety split is what it is here in the back of beyond.
