        No, just some info you missed:  Pan now clumps concurrent connections 
together to download different parts of the *same* binary at once.  
Notice the leftmost part of Pan's status bar -- it indicates the number 
of active connections and their combined speed.  If you have a status 
monitor such as gkrellm, you should see that your connection is being 
fully utilized (unless your server has bandwidth limits also).
        Recent Pan betas definitely use *my* bandwidth more fully than they 
used 
to, because I'll no longer have three or four binaries waiting for the 
last part to trickle in -- it will move on to something else while it 
waits for that last little bit.
