    I'm not networking braniac admittedly. But aren't you only as fast as your fastest link? I guess sweden and europe in general is known for their great internet services. But I don't know that even if you had the best connection in the world here in the US, if you could actually download at anywhere near those speeds.

    I saw this a few months ago. She just happens to be the mother of one of the internet's pioneers and Sweden's unofficial net nerd.

    I wish I had 40Gps, but I don't think any of the servers support than speed.

    Just imagine seeding a bittorrent swam, some groups would probably pay you to get that kind of bandwidth. "In the last 10 minutes your seed to peer ratio is 1,000:1"
