To get your speed just look at the download rate, if it's given in Kilo Bytes multiply by 8 to get the bit rate eg, 16KB x 8 = 128kb (kilo bits), 32KB x 8 = 256kb and so on. The JSG (router) logon also works on Paradise Games and ftp. Cheers Murray P |

| 267325 | 2004-09-01 00:58:00 | But I didn't get a speed indication when transffering from the FTP to my local drive, jsut a copying dialog like in WinXP > To get your speed just look at the download rate, if > it's given in Kilo Bytes multiply by 8 to get the bit > rate eg, 16KB x 8 = 128kb (kilo bits), 32KB x 8 = > 256kb and so on.

| 267326 | 2004-09-01 01:48:00 | Firefox or Mozilla have download managers with a progress bar and dialogue not sure what IE does these days. http://gamers.paradise.net.nz/ servers and files down at the bottom of the page. Cheers Murray P |

| 267327 | 2004-09-01 02:35:00 | You're right Murray - Firefox, Opera, Konqueror... Anything other than IE would be better ;-) IE turns into its "explorer-like" interface when doing FTP Transactions, and so it looks like you're browsing your HDD. It then only tells you the time remaining for the transfer but not the actual speed. I was reaching 680KB/s while on JSG. I grabbed Fedora Core 2 while I was there ;-) |

| 267329 | 2004-09-01 02:43:00 | Ive not used the latest Mandrake so I cant compare... Last time I used Mandrake (8.0, 9.0, 9.1) I had nothing but issues, so I went for Slackware ;-) Whatever floats your boat, if it works for you.... Then why not :-) |

Q.2. - what issues did you have with Mandrake? I have not yet tried linux - I might be tempted after all the cr@p that XP-home dishes up on a regular basis ... I will definately be going back to Win-98, and give XP to the kids computer (they want their own specific logins and userspace) ... I can't see that XP is a major uplift to the home user, it just gives th OS total control and the user has to suck on it. thanks for all of the linux info though - I might get brave enough and have a go one day soon cheer B) |

| 267331 | 2004-09-01 05:00:00 | Slackware is the longest standing Linux Distro. More designed for those who've used Linux for a while and are comfortable with the command-line. Mandrake never liked my Graphics Card / Monitor, Networking was hard to configure. Yoper is a nice fast OS that really puts you in control :-) Cheers Chill. |
