And for those of you who know more about computers and d/l and stuff, can anyone explain this to me. When I purchased BM, it was a 103 MB download and it took less than three minutes. When I attached that 320 meg file to my email, I figured 320 is rougly 3 times 103, it'll take 3 times as long, 6, 7 minutes. WRONG ! It took well over 30 minutes. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?????
Well, when you're downloading a file..you're doing just that, downloading it. When you attach a file to an email and send it, you have to UPLOAD the file. Upload speeds are normally ALOT slower than download speeds. Does that explain it?
