File servers

Is it just me, or do file servers seem to be getting slower these days?

As I type this I'm currently downloading a trial version of Nero. Downloading with a single connection yields ~30-40k download speeds, now with 4 I get 90-160k.

Downloads.com has developed some kind of grudge against me recently too, as a single connection will usually yield 18k max from them, there are many other reputable file servers I could mention too.

Yet I know there is nothing wrong with my connection, Usenet will still blaze away at full speeds, even the dreaded "T-word" runs proverbial rings around these things.

So are they getting slower, or do they just not like me..
