can anyone tell me why i live in the US, but i get faster downloads from aus servers? i got a cable modem, so dl should be faster in US, right? i'm more confused than a baby in a topless bar!

how much faster?

aus rulz
america sucks
can't get much simpler

on american servers, i usually get 50-75KB/sec dl, but with aus servers, i get AT LEAST 150KB/sec...the top is 250KB/sec...in fact, i recently downloaded all 5 linux disc isos from red hat...their primary is slower that dogs*** on a cold day, some with all the american servers i tried, but of the 3 aus mirrors, i only needed the first one...650MB in 1 hour or less kicks ass! i remember the days of dial-up...lucky if it got 20MB in an hour...dammit, i can never go back now!

appart from america sucking arse, here is the thing
(aus gamer's duty to hate americans)

in aus our broard band is so f***ed atm its not funny, with telstra running the show and no competition in site we have plenty of broadband to throw around,

in america u have something like, (guess) 200k AOL users, im sure way more but online at one time, u wouldnt believe how slow that makes servers and s***, normaly when america is asleep is the only time i can download anything from your country at a acceptable rate.
