You've probably got a 128k upload limit. This matters for your download speed because almost all internet traffic is TCP and requires acknowledgement packets to be sent confirming that packets you requested have been received. If you can't get the acknowledgements back quick enough then you can't get data sent to you any quicker. The fastest a TCP connection will download with a 128k upload limit is around 4500k. Upgrade to a plan with a quicker upload speed and your download speed should climb closer to 7000k.
The tone generator in Audacity will happily let you punch in 25KHz, but it won't generate above 20KHz (which I can easily hear), instead it'll just generate a 20KHz tone and say nothing more. I've tried using the latest stable release (1.2.6). I've also tried modifying the sampling rate to no avail.
Also, as already stated, even if your hearing was up to the task of discerning a tone that high, your audio equipment probably won't be able to produce it - most consumer level sound cards won't do above 48KHz sampling rates (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_theorem) and thus eliminating anything over 24KHz. That's also assuming that the frequency response of the sound card was flat the extremes (most aren't). You'd also need a rather expensive pair of speakers or headphones.
"I don't understand why we need to make up so many other ideas. "Well, it just happened over and over and over again till by some cosmic accident, the Universe actually all fell into place just right to prododuce us." That's like saying a tornado blew through a junkyard on a billion different instances and somehow managed to assemble an airplane that needed just fuel and oil or whatever to be able to take off and fly, in one out of a billion times. It's just not plausable."
If we consider for a moment that the topic of one universe creating multiple more universes, do we have any idea how old those universes before ours were? One could say that time for those universes prior to ours was almost infinite. Given infinite time even the most unlikely event is not only possible but probable, and almost certain to happen. When you consider that idea, the possibility of our universe beginning as the result of a random event isn't that hard to believe.

So even though it's ALWAYS WORKED BEFORE it would be INSANE TO THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN?
I know I'm getting off topic, but there's a fair few philosophers that have something to say on that point.

They call them selves the "Solid State Society", make a video of a gaming related mural, and post on /. Good luck with the sex.
