Thanks Fenier for helping to clear that up a little. So I am guessing that even though I'm routed to Rendo with one connection, the loading of pages can happen quick because it is Hyper Text and downloads use up more bandwidth as a file transfer. I'm still astonished at the slowness. To go from 800 kb/s or greater down to 80 kb/s seems very extreme. So I have to conclude that the freebies section at Rendo is not on the same server or whatever, because downloads from there are very fast @ 2mb/s. So...???

We'll see.
