  Just dl-ed Vista Beta 2 ( 3.3 gig ) in somewhat over an hour. Using the
Microsoft File Transfer Manager the default download time with 'no speed
limit' download acceleration was over 10 hours yet changing the option to
'no acceleration' changed that time to about 1 hour 20 minutes. I don't
think I want MS to accelerate me anymore
