Only if you have a fast enough connection.  I measured my connection 
(which sounds comparable to Andy's) and figured 80% of that IIRC.  So on 
the assumption that 20 KB/s is 80% of my measured (not rated) bandwidth 
(which ISTR it is), then you're proposing that I'm being "mean" by not 
using nearly 300% of my available bandwidth.  Are you nuts? ;-)
