Re: [OT] ish ISP who don't mind large downloads?

["Simon McCaughey" <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Me too, I've downloaded a lot ofer my pipex, although I suspect part
of the
reason I have no trouble is because I only get 512k :((

Even using 512 at max and including the upload rate (they count
download+upload) I can still transfer a load of data.
