Fair comment, but I've seen 20Mb achieved at certain periods of time throughout the download.

I've set it to 16 connections and next time I need to dl something i'll check, and hopefully I'll remember to update the thread. (I bet you won't be able to sleep until you know my downloads are up to speed! )
