Well 10BaseT can be full duplex as well, but the 10/100 speed refers to the speed of the ethernet connection, no the protocols that run on top of it. There are many 'bits' lost in packet and transmission overhead for the ethernet packets, the ip packets and the http/ftp/whatever packets. As you say around 6 Mbit/s file transmission rate would be about the limit.
