1st 512K took 1531 ms = 334.4 KB/sec, approx 2755 Kbps,
2.69 Mbps
2nd 512K took 7344 ms = 69.7 KB/sec, approx 574 Kbps,
0.56 Mbps
3rd 512K took 7500 ms = 68.3 KB/sec, approx 563 Kbps,
0.55 Mbps
4th 512K took 2484 ms = 206.1 KB/sec, approx 1698 Kbps,
1.66 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 1398 Kbps,
1.37 Mbps
that one doesnt look like 10mb to me.
regardless, why are my downloads still a dreadful speed?
p.s. if i use a download manager, e.g. flashget, i CAN reach my usualt speed of around 230KB/s

right, installed ethernet. it feels like the net is quicker but i tried to download something off a fast server and its still getting a poor mid 20-30kb/s.
a download manager will get me 230kb/s though.
maybe i need a reformatt? seems that windows or internet explorer is somehow not working very well?
