correct, many of those files in truth are way too small to be testing 30mbit and higher in a browser. I would say dvd iso images are more suited but then it gets a bit heavy on bandwidth.

they wont level at true speeds tho.
you simply fail to understand that there will be inflated speeds for the first 3 files as they are contending with more than 1/4 of the bandwidth. its actually reasonably diffilcult to get 4 files going before the first finishes as well. unless I pick one of the larger files deliberate to start with.
as hugh has asked I will agree we disagree. Shame yet again tho VM staff never ever backing down on anything, their process is always right etc.
