It's on a DSL connection. I can do 360kilobytes/s down and 40kb/s up. Multiply those by 8 to get the kilobit. From school, I find it's at least as fast as the vL forum. Quik's complaints might be due to geographical conditions, not actual bandwidth. Perhaps the response speed is slow, but the transfer speed is ok?
Port 80 is unlimited. The only thing I limit is file transfers like SSH.
It's Slackware 10.1, Apache 1.3.33, and the latest MySQL. It used to be on a 266mhz computer until like 2 days ago when I moved it to a 433. There was no real problem with response time on the 266, but I wanted to get it onto the better computer anyway. Onto a computer that can boot on its own.
I'm not sure what the difference would be. Maybe your router sucks?
