Hahaha! Some people. That's a dead giveaway. Does anyone really use a 14.4 modem anymore? :Q
Oh yeah, and how do you explain the ping of 48?

I always go for the low ping on a 14.4 modem. In fact, I think that's what I've got mine listed as.

If he really didn't want people to download from him he would of set Max uploads=0 in his Napster preferences.

I dont think you can set max uploads = 0. I hate those modem tricksters, but I catch on quick. I look at ping more than the listed connection type. :)

I also set my modem to 14.4 b/c I really have a 56k and I won't want some guy stealing my precious bandwidth. but then again, remember that whoever lies about having a 14.4 does not want anybody to d/l from him so he'll probably cancel the d/l at 50%.

Yup and you can download from a T3 in 30minutes. Some people lie so bad:)

The best way to minimize uploads is to set your connection to 56k or 128k ISDN. Then it's not too obvious.

Don't you mean 30 secs?
