FWIW…

There seems to be a free download speedometer available to Opera browser users.

I futzed around with a bit Opera last night, Googled, found and saved the speedometer but can’t run it. Need winzip., it looks like.

Presumably it tells you how fast your each and every download is.

I’m paying around $30 a month for this BS. Thing is, it doesn’t get much better around here…
