Re: A89: Me distributing roms.
woah dude you're way off on your conversions.
1 byte(word) = 8 bits
so a 800kilobit internet connection means 100kilobytes/sec RATED* speed.
A T1 is 1.45MegaBits(or was it 1.54?) which is equal to ~1485KiloBits a
second which is ~186KiloBytes/sec a second(more commonly called K/sec).
*RATED: My 64k isdn is RATED @ 8K/sec(64/8=8), that doesn't mean I cant
sustain download @ 11K/sec for hours(I do that all the time). I can achieve
11K/sec because of compression.
(BTW: If I have something wrong here please correct me.)
