Hi Maxim,
been having major problems with downloads stopping, couldn't even get a 
complete apt-get update sources list , every thing broken, .
Was told by phone company that they will do a "moules test" on line to 
test data transfer, and that they will need modem set to 19.2kps, for 
their test. Have no idea why this is necessary, but that is what they say,
Take Care
