[gui-talk] BARD download speed pretty bad for me

[albert griffith]

I doubt your choosing a different time will make much difference since I
believe the bottle neck is caused by NLS having to share its band width with
other agencies.  The Feds probably have some servers that many governmental
entities use on a kind of time share basis to maximize efficiency and all
that.  This will probably change as we demonstrate more need for band width.
I have no evidence for these conclusions.

Well, bottleneck was my thought, of course. But then again, it was Saturday 
night, and if you don't believe that would be a heavy traffic time, I don't 
know what to say. It was simply my experience, two files in a row. I'll 
certainly download other things eventually, no telling in advance on what 
day of the week and time of day. So I'll see how it goes next time.

Download speed from their servers seems to vary a great deal.  Also,
have seen a wide variety of reports on different speeds at different
times of the day, and think there may be an intermittent bottleneck
coming out of Washington.  I think this because of the wide
variation, and I doubt Saturday night is a busy time for them.
