Thanks for the info on DSL DL speeds. I'm on DSL, too, so I feel my
experience may not be unusual. I guess I should've said I'm a
relatively new user. Used to have a slower connection which I ran in
secondary, but just began trying primary mode. I'd read Slyck's guide
before my post,but didn't see anything that applied to my question.
Guess I'll just divide my time between active DL time in secondary and
server mode in primary. Just wish there was a way to stay primary and
get good speed.
