-- Posted by JeremyM at 5:07 pm on May 31, 2008 So, I was downloading Safari and QuickTime today from apple's site. 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... -- Posted by marshmellowman 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. It probably wasn't coming from NY. That said that is pretty fast ^_^! -- Posted by JeremyM at 5:14 pm on May 31, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 8:08 pm on May 31, 2008 But Apple uses Akamai's distribution network so that you get it from the server closest to you.

I just took another screenshot downloading some stuff and I got 2.1mb/sec -- Posted by tait at 5:15 pm on May 31, 2008 I think I need to go and change my pants.

Downloading from canon.com -- Posted by espresso8097 at 9:10 pm on June 8, 2008 I have downloaded Linux distros through torrents that fast...no biggie.
