Check the stats for the victoria region and you will see that Swinburne University of Technology has the fastest download speeds in victoria.
Really? Do you have a link to the stats?
And our Internet is free at Swinburne  ;D ;D

Our internet is also "FREE".

LoL!, which university would charge for using the internet :2funny:

ktorrent is good if you like KDE. If you don't mind console applications, rtorrent is good. And if for some reason Java turns you on, there is always Azureus.
Heh, yeah, I used to use rtorrent when I had a Linux server at my house
Eww, I used to use Azureus, but it's slow :P
I'm happy with uTorrent for now, it only uses 7 MB memory which was less than some of the native Linux clients :P. I'll have to try ktorrent though. Thanks =]

Oh please, users come in all different skills and abilities...

I just hate the computer illiterates who think they know more than you

Too bitter to detect a jocular tone?

Oh nah, basically saying that you have those who are technically proficient but are humble enough to accept help, as opposed to those who think they know everything, but know nothing.

Having being employed in Tech Support means that I've had my fair share of both types...thankfully more of the former than the latter.

If they say you have a speed of 50 megabits per second, just divide it by eight and that will give you your actual speed, so it will be 6.25 megabytes per second  etc etc
