Compressed files will download at about 5KB/s but compressible files
will exceed that. In fact my internal "hard" modem managed 22KB/s for
an "infinitely" compressible file. "Soft" or controllerless modems
will probably do better than that.
To test the limits of your dialup connection, create a 1MB file
consisting of 1 million repetitions of the letter "A", and then email
it to yourself. Or use ftp to upload and download it to and from your
web space.
