[GRLUG] download slowdown

[Mike Williams]

Belkin started out just making computer cables. It's fairly recently 
that they've been making anything but really good cables, and I've had 
mixed results with their other stuff. I have one of their old serial 
port UPS's which has old but very functional Linux monitoring software, 
but I had a newer one that died young and didn't even have 
user-replaceable batteries. Their cables have always been top quality, 
and I think they should have stuck with that!
