Hi all

I have an adsl connection with 1500/256 which is the max spped available in oz, as far as i know with our getting cable.

I ve been noticing that when i connect to a server to download a file i get a spike that some times reads 250KB. then it slowly starts to decrease

Now just a few minutes ago i downloaded a 50 meg file but this time i noticed a spike of 2200 KB now that is one of the biggest spike i have ever seen and it lasted for about 5 seconds before it slowly started to decrease in value.

my question is is that an accurate measurement of the spike that im getting?? im using netscape navigator the latest version.

and iif the spike of 2200 KB is accurate can it be programmed from my end to keep it open for longer?

any advise would be appreciated

thanks
