modem at 26.4? Well that is really slow, and old?

I do not deal with satellite services.  I had the choice of DSL or Cable Modem 
for broadband access.  I choose Cable Modem since I am getting TV, Digital 
Phone, and Broadband access in one package.  If I used DSL, I would have had to 
deal with two companies vying for the services.  The DSL company offers Phone, 
DSL, and Satellite TV.

My upload speeds are about 2 to 3 times standard modem speeds, so 
uploading/sending large files can be a long process.  The DVDs take over 5 hours 
to upload [each] to the web site and every time a new version comes out, I have 
to do at least 1.3 GB of uploading.



Hi :)

It is a shame we can't quite organise snail-mail (postal services) to deliver 
new releases to people with limited download capabilities.  A few people do seem 
to manage it on a limited scale but hopefully this will be a growth market.  


As for downloading in order to re-upload to another server elsewhere is there 
some way of transferring directly so that we can bypass the download?  
Ubuntu-One and other Cloud services would be useful if they could offer such 
functionality.  


Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
