I had just reformatted the PC and figured I'd get back with Safari...very fast and I'm not into FireFox really. Check out these speeds I got downloading from California, where Apple's webservers are to Orange County, NY...

I just took another screenshot downloading some stuff and I got 2.1mb/sec marshmellowman Posted at 5:08 pm on May 31, 2008 But Apple uses Akamai's distribution network so that you get it from the server closest to you.
