The type of file can make a difference to file transfer also as far as I know. SQL files are actually nothing more than a text file with a different file extension when it comes down to it.
I know when I have downloaded bitmaps and large text files in the past, it has gone at ridiculous speeds, but the speed you have recorded there is a lot faster than what I was getting!!
Yep - know what you mean mate. I've downloaded silly file sizes myself.
Yes, SQL files are just a load of text.

I'm under no illusions that I'm getting quicker speeds than I should be by the way, I'm just loooking for what must be a more logical explanation!
