It should download the whole file and give the average speed of the download after it finishes. Try this with a couple largish files on several different servers. e.g. ftp2.freebsd.org ftp3.freebsd.org ftp4.freebsd.org Remember though that the 256 is usually the *maximum* speed. The guaranteed speed is usually much lower. --devin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
