817 kBps = 6536 kbps
Hmmm. I got about the same speeds from the Atlanta server. Maybe even a wee bit faster. I think the file is a little smaller than what we'd ideally want for this purpose.

Steely,

805 kBps = 6440 kbps - incorrect
817 kBps = 6536 kbps - incorrect

Score: 0
Percent Correct: 0%
Grade: Fail (F)

Homework assignment:
Study and make sure to understand value definitions KB and Kb, and proper use with bits, bytes, storage size, and transmission rates.

817 KiloBytes x 8 = 6536 kilobits. Steely is close enough!

Thanks for taking it upon yourself to "grade" my almost 5-month-old post.
FYI, I did my original conversions here: »www.matisse.net/bitcalc

"FYI, I did my original conversions here:"

Ah, so that's why you flunked, because you tried to cheat. Should always do your own work.

"Thanks for taking it upon yourself to "grade" my almost 5-month-old post."

Been on strike for pay deserving of prompt grading.

The San Jose link seems to be disabled. Does someone *in-the-know* know if there's a new link?

Use LA: »bowc-cdn01.bowcroft.ca.la.comcas···zard.exe

It seems to still be kicking.

BTW, it must be a local thing. I Remoted to a server in N.C. and the San Jose link worked fine.
