I've been using the Chicago server since it was put up and consistently get between 75 and 110 kbps. I am in western Arkansas. I think, mileage wise, nearer Dallas, but the Chicago always works faster for me. I have used it at various times of day and night, both on weekend and weekdays. Noticed no problems and am running well within my low end dsl connection of 100. I've downloaded files ranging from 3 megs to 20 during the past several days. All files came complete, no loss, no errors.
