I usually download from Newsgroups using 8 threads and connection usually maxes out at 1.2MB/s, but rarely see any more than 500-600KB/s on any speedtest often much less than that.

Interesting thing happened last night. Started a 1GB download in newsgroups, was only running at 700KB/s, disabled Avast On-Access Protection and speed went up to 1.2MB/s and remained at that level when I enabled Avast On-Access Protection again!
