Go up one level in this thread


Since we computer-chess enthusiasts do so much downloading...
For unknown reasons (besides the superiority of Linux), I am getting
more than double the download speed under this system, using the same
ISP and modem. Previously, I was averaging under 5K/sec with a 56K
modem. Now, its doing about 12K/sec! And I have not EVEN optimized
it yet. (Checking all of those AT codes, configuration files, and later,
recompiling the kernel.
Also, this text-mode browser, once you get used to it, is LIGHTNING
FAST. For example, it moves around these posts in this discussion
group more or less instantly.
High-Performance computing is of interest here. But I won't bother
y'all any more. Thanks.
