Aw man, maybe it's just the fact you're all in America, but your download speeds are just ridiculously large compared to mine. At the moment (using Speedtest.net), I'm getting abouts:
And that's not mentioning the ridiculous throttle speeds if you over-download. Let's just say I struggle to get more than 10 kb/s download when I've been throttled.
Stupid Virgin Media...

I find it amusing that half the countries in the top 10 are eastern european.
Speed at work:
We're gonna upgrade soon to 20megs fibreoptic from NTL. My dad said it should be working around monday.
That site is buggy as hell though. Did any of you ever reach a number close to that when downloading a normal file?
In Japan I had a very crappy connection because I was in a territory without good internet coverage. On top of that they hardly have any competition in Japan so internet aint that great. However speedtest.net displayed ridiculous speeds.
There's lots of competition for service, not so much for backbone, you only have 2 -4 options, but then the providers... so many!
I've not quite reached those speeds when downloading, but near them with newsgroups. I can't find these speeds DL from the web or Torrents... but who needs em when you've got newsgroups ** (of course for legal purposes for DL Linux distros and such...)

Japan, is great for their speeds.

My experience was a little bit worse but then again I didn't live in Tokio..
Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
@SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
@SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
@Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
