Firefox does make downloads faster, it processes data in a different way, for example it uses some methods fo downloading that you see in the likes of Getright and download manager by spawning multiple downlaod streams on some downloads. Also IE has some inbuilt limits, for example, only being able to downlaod a certain numberof files at once unless you use a seperate client.

I never said it made my connection faster, I just said that it devoted more of my precious bandwidth to downloading...

Doh!? Do you trust IE?

That is odd... Did you used tabs in Firefox?
It is the single feature that made me never go back from Opera/Firefox back to IE... (along with the pop-up windows blocking)

Try opening Firefox and Middle-Clicking on a link (works especially well when you want, for example, to see a serie of images or when you want to continue to read stuff on one page while the one you followed is still loading).
Once you get acostumed to that, you never want to go back. (i think)

Have you never been to the mozilla extension site for firefox? Although there are more extensions for IE, at least 100% of firefox's extensions arent malicious spyware modules, and outnumber IE's inferior nubmer of valid non-malicious plugins.
