    Oof. I’m guessing your modem wasn’t actually connecting at 56k then. Or anywhere near it. I was able to get a 3-5 megabyte mp3 in about 12-20 mins max using my dial up service. This is using Napster.

      I never thought to check my speed when I had a 56k modem. Interesting.

      You are probably correct that I never got full speed.
