I'm downloading Bioshock demo just to test it and from previous download speeds of like max 600, I am now downloading at 2MBPS!!!:rockout:
Really nice.
Gonna run a game see if it starts faster...
I also always wondered why downloads would pause when I would play a game to pass time by, now it doesn't!
