Not just p2p - I was getting 25Kbps on a straight ftp download from nero.

not just at peak times either, mine went to 8k/s from 12pm.

/adopts pedant mode:
No such time - either 12 noon or 12 midnight.

/adopts factual mode.

wrong. 12pm is valid as 1pm, 12am, etc.

Literally, 12pm means 12 hours after mid-day, and 12am means 12 hours
before mid-day. Nothing wrong with either, it's just that one of them (and
I have no idea which) probably doesn't mean what you think it does.

12:01am and 12:01pm are different kettles of fish. Different times, too.

Life is SO much simpler on the 24-hour clock.

Cheers,
Daniel.

The jury's still out on this one...

Except if you're in the military or one of the emergency or international
services, when every incident or event is logged as a date-time-group.
e.g. 241630OCTA (24th of the month, 4.30pm, October, British Summer Time -
substitute Z for A if referring to Greenwich Mean Time).
Using such a system there is still an anomaly, in that midnight (0000hrs)
doesn't officially exist, as it can't accurately refer to a given date.
Thus, events are logged up to 2359hrs on the day in question and then flip
straight to 0001hrs on the next day.

This could run and run... (I hope not!)

Well, yes, I see what you mean ... but the only anomaly there is that the
otherwise perfectly logical time of 00:00 is deliberately eschewed in order
to avoid any chance of confusion (I think any such confusion would be pretty
unlikely to occur; but as it could have serious consequences if it did this
hypercaution is probably a good thing).

24:00 on 1st April is the same time as 00:00 on 2nd April, and is followed
immediately by 00:01 on the 2nd April. You can use either notation without
any actual ambiguity (as long as you do it correctly).

<smile> OK, I'll stop now.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Check out ISO 8601 for the current standard way(s) of representing time and
date.
