Heh, I like the following URL, "insecure" :)

Took forever! I'm not sure how long 1527 sec is, but it's long enough that 
I went mcdonalds :)

ouch, 25 min.

So, what I want to do is hook in that information with any p2p software, 
such as bittorrent, yes?  Of course, the ISP might be doing something, 
too.  Hmmm.  Depending on what the ISP and network admin do, I would want 
those settings dynamic, presumably.
