You may have misunderstood what i was saying. I meant i get 2.6MB/s on my 20meg connection NOT a 20meg download.
I regularly download posts from usenet in-excess of 10gb in 50-100meg chunks so i don't think your assumption is correct.
I measure the throughput on a dedicated piece of software (mac) on my machine.
Look at the image below, this is a screen grab. Ignore the Speedtest.net bit as i was just using this to show how badly some sites report speeds.
Look ion the top right corner and you will see the throughput speed from the downloads. There was nothing else running at the time, there was no additional network traffic - just the download.
