| 531481 | 2007-03-09 23:07:00 | I use a download manager. I don't use P2P or what. For web stuff I gen get up to 250 speeds. However I am not with Go Large or Xtra. If you read your latest email i think or off Xtra, they will say adjustment has been made to the Go Large programme. Current users can remain on it with revisions such that 24/7 are traffic managed for all stuff even web surfing. New customers cannot get on Go Large anymore. However they said that customers who do not like it can switch to a diff Xtra plan or exit to a diff ISP and penalty fees will be waived. AFAIK. |

| 531482 | 2007-03-09 23:59:00 | I was House-sitting for a friend a few hundred meters down the road.. approx 500m from the local exchange. He was with Xtra on the GoLarge plans. I took screenshots of http downloads (WITHOUT a download manager splitting it) from a US site of the Spiderman3 HD WMV trailer reaching well over 600KB/s! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 531484 | 2007-03-10 05:47:00 | I use Download Accelerator Plus which doesn't do much for me because I am on dial-up but apparently it can boost up broadband heaps. the only setback is that you have to know the URL of the file that you are downloading which could be difficult in LimeWire (I don't know because I don't use LimeWire).
