Maetryx here, :cool:

After living on the UAF campus for about 9 years (an accident with a condom and a time machine) I'll be moving next weekend to a "new" house. Thus shall I lose my 2Mbit internet connection, and have to survive with a mere cable modem (which will become available at my location a few weeks from now according to the cable company... phew!).

What enormous files should I download before I meet with that fate?

I love extreme sports crash and burn videos. Or other vehicle accidents and police chases. But the ones at Consumption Junction are always really low quality. Anyone know where some high quality crash videos can be downloaded?

I'm downloading slackware 8.1 iso at 420KB/s (woohoo). Anyone that needs me to burn this and snail mail it to them PM me.

Anyone else ever used Teleport Pro? I think you really could download the internet with that utility. It can replicate a website to your hard drive, and as many links deep as you like. Default is 3. But if you put like 20 links deep, that might be the entire internet.

downloading ISOs is good for taking screenies that show your line is faster than it is since ISOs compress so much, i can download ISOs at over 1meg a secong on my 5-6Mbit line
