The funny thing is I just downloaded a 20mb file (latest driver from nvidia) and I was getting ~240k/s. When I had a 512k I was getting about 40-50k/s, when it went to 750k (I think it was) i was getting about 75-80k/s and all of this judging by the output from IE. So I am a little confused, I know compression can be used but I wasn't using any download accelerators just IE standard. Maybe its just IE reporting the speed wrong or due to compression it is calculating the speed... I dunno but I am guessing I have a 2mb line from the speed tests.

240k/s is 2MB.
