Re: Speed test sites/HTTP proxy
Most download managers use multiple connections and most speedtests only use one.

There could be a transparent proxy involved I suppose but it's far more likely to be a simple case of what routing the traffic is going through. Do a search on this board for peering and you'll find some clues I'm sure.
