mtr -- Cool utility! Thanks for the pointer.

12. ???
=======================
One small burp on Camcasts Decatur host...
  but 15% loss at the Stonemtn headend
into the big pipes!!

I don't currently try to run any kind of server on my
Comcast line, so I can't say if upload speeds have been
consistent of late. A couple months back I attempted a
4gig DVD upload to ftp.ALE.org and seemed to be
getting most of the 384Kbps upload speed that the
service is supposed to deliver... so the process was
only going to take about 24 hours.  (I decided to do
the upload from the T1 connection at one of the 
sites I contract at.)
