</blockquote><div><br>Have you tried it? I would think that a sustained 1000Kbps is well within the capabilities of a DSL link on the frontend side. I haven't tried it but I regularly download large files at speeds in excess of 3000Kbps (sometimes as high as 5-6000Kbps). Obviously you wouldn't be able to use DSL on the server side as the upload bandwidth is way too low.<br>
