My record was when I ftp'd Java from IBM's Hursley site.  A massive 32 
byte/second before I aborted the transfer.  The entire Internet is getting 
jammed rather solidly these days.  Even a file directly from a mirror site on 
my ISP's machines runs about 4.5K/second -- the same file via Fidonet and 
it's less loaded systems came in here at 5.4K/second with a connect that was 
1333 bps slower.
