A few minutes ago @Home was at ~350 kbyte/s from ftp.gwdg.de, on quiet nights 
~500 kbyte/s, my topspeed was 539 kbyte/s for a few (10?) secs.

It ain't a CD in 5 min (700 MB/5 min is about 2.3 MB/s), but more like a CD in 
half an hour if the mood is right (I'm not sure, haven't done that lately).

Cheers,
