... why I need 6+ threads (connections) to max out the downstream on my 150Mb/s broadband service but only one thread (connection) to max out a 1Gb/s ftp download from my NAS box?

I typically get about 20-30Mb/s on an ftp download to external sites using a single thread.

Is this down to inconsistent delivery times of individual TCP packets or out of order packets that I don't get on my internal network?
