Proxies don't affect download speeds from memory.

ok thanks guys, no my connection was otherwise idle.

neil the download goes through the proxy so it can affect speeds, as I got an instant speed increase when changing to colc-6.

Surprise, surprise! Tried downloading the link, got just over 10K, using Firefox. Then I noticed Bill C's screenshot and noticed he was using IE. Opened IE and tried it.

You've guessed already, haven't you? 240+K...

I tried in ie but it loaded wmp I will try it again when I can do save as.

But I am fairly sure in my case was hitting bad proxies since I was able to get the fast speed in the same browser different proxy.

Yeh, but then it's in the proxy-cache so would be faster.

I usually get 360kB for downloads but I have seen it drop to 220kB.

I change my proxy and it jumped to the 250s

Not on a proxy. Nor was it in my own cache, because I let the IE download get much farther than the FF one had got, and it was still as fast.
