====================================================
As you will know, Agent has quite a few options for body retrieval
with its various connection and download options/rates, I have tried
tweaking these over time but have never found a set-up that gets it to
the speed that it should be going (based on my connection speed).
I have found that the fastest way to get bodies is to double click on
each body... yep its a pain in the ass, but is the only way to get
anywhere near top speed. Marking dozens of bodies for retrieval and
then telling agent to get ALL the marked bodies (as one instruction)
goes a LOT slower... in my case about 500k whereas clicking the bodies
one by one will download at a much faster 4MB (average).
