I just downloaded a new mozilla nightly in approximately 7 seconds. I don't know exactly, as by the time I realized what was going on, it was done. ncftp tells me I was going at 1.11MB/sec. That's 8.88Mb/sec. Wow.
The odd thing? I'm at least 15 hops from ftp.mozilla.org. Granted, it is a direct USC connect to MAE LA, then Above bandwidth to AOL's network, but still... That's just fast.
