So that command ran at essentially the rates you report for 10-20
seconds.  Then I killed it and tried another test I'd been using, which
was to lftp to ftp.kernel.org and get -c linux-2.6.39-rc7.tar.bz2.  That
transfer started at a high rate, but settled fairly quickly at about
60KB/s.  So I killed that transfer and restarted the wget, and it ran
steadily at ~60KB/s.

One question.  While I'm fairly certain that I'm running your patch,
would there be an easy way for me to be certain?  Perhaps I could add a
log message?

Thanks
