1195907 2011-04-20 22:35:00 Nice! :D

Though AFAIK the nVidia stuff is cached locally by Akamai.

1195909 2011-04-20 23:07:00 Yeah the nvidia drivers are always super fast for me on xtra, in fact I believe it's the first download i've ever had to hit a full 2.0MB/s :) pablo d (15490)

1195912 2011-04-21 04:00:00 nVidia use Akamai caching so you probably downloaded it locally. trinsic (6945)
1195913 2011-04-21 04:59:00 A lot has to do with what ever your plan is, what you are getting and where its coming from, time of day,any bottle necks / Server outages in some server(s) over seas etc.

Most places I get around 1.3MB/s to 1.8MB/s Technet (MS) when something new has not just come out, EG: new version of Windows or Office it's quite regular at 1.7MB/s
