I agree that there is some sort of limitation which does not reflect what your connection can fully achieve but I wouldn't phrase it the way you have. When I first read it I thought you meant that VM are actively capping individual downloads and that the only way you would get max speed is if you downloaded multiple files simultaneously. I have seen it before but only ever noticed it when doing single thread speed tests. I doubt VM will ever fix it because I imagine for most people it is a non-issue. For me it is analogous to how the modems work. If you only use one channels you'll get 50mbits, so we use multiple channels to get more speed. I haven't don't any http updates or game downloads in years but when I download anything from Steam etc I have no problem pulling 18MB/sec.
