Hi Ihlan, 

That's an interesting link, but they provide the average, which is not a very 
good indicator. I have myself a 100 Mb/s link where I live, which means that 
as Akamai ranks my country with an average speed of 6.7 Mb/s, a lot of person 
have a connection that does not reach 1 Mb/s. Of course, many of those will 
not be interested in downloading numpy, so that might not be an issue.
