The rate your browser shows when you download a file has nothing to do with how the file is compressed (IE zipped). It just sends those compressed packets over at the same rate, so if it shows 13kb/s, it hasn't had time to get an accurate reading yet. Trust me, you'd be a miracle worker to do that. Unless you ran two-three modems in the same 'puter with 3 phone lines.

what about compression, maybe that file was well compressed. I've had 13KB/s
and i have a 33.6k modem. I may never have gotten over approx. 4000 bytes
per sec., but when I got it, it uncompressed into approx. 13000 bytes and was
calculated as such.
