Re: A89: Me distributing roms.
A few things. A 56Kbps modem is not the same as a 5.6KBps modem.
b = bit
B = byte
K = kilo
M = mega
G = giga
p = per
s = second
8b = 1B
1024B = 1KB
1024KB = 1MB
1024MB = 1GB
8Kb = 8192b = 1024B = 1KB
8Kbps = 1KBps
56Kbps = 7KBps
A 1mbit cable line would NOT be 100kilobytes per second, but rather 1024Kbps
(kilobits per second), or 128KBps (kilobytes per second).

Maybe you should get to know it a little better then...
