eg. I just did it just now. I left a 10 second gap between each click.
file 1 2.1meg/sec
file 2 1.6meg/sec
file 3 1.2meg/sec
file 4 1.1meg/sec
so my line can do 6.0meg/sec on a 30mbit connection. impressive  incidently file 4 started about 0.9meg/sec but when earlier files finished it then had full line speed bringing up its average at the end. |
You're supposed to have a snapshot of the speed of all of them, once settled down,
when all 4 are downloading simultaneously not their average speeds when all done. That would indeed be a futile measure.
Again all 4 must be running
at the time you check their speeds, and all 4 must have had time to ramp up.

They will not balance out as they will be run over different times, which are not completely overlapping. Time is completely relevant.
I like how you've completely ignored how I've already explained this and shown you it in practice.

See above - it's supposed to be a
snapshot of when all files are downloading simultaneously and have had the chance to ramp up.
Obviously not ideal but you are getting the wrong impression if you are looking at speed at the end of the download.
