Many people have complained about only getting 70kbs download speed…
Hmmmm Mine gets 532kbs sometimes faster or slower
Like most things, it depends on where you’re downloading from. I average between about 100k and 500k depending on the site.

seems ok to me.
and this one from a Taiwan site:
I normally never hit anything over 300 down on a single thread. Load up multiple threads and I hit my max 100% of the time.
Ftp threads that is.
People who complain don’t know how to use the internet.

I think those tests are insignificant. Try to find a rather local server, and download a CD image from that server. Measure the time it takes to download the entire image and do the math.
You can do the same thing for your favorite server that might be on a different continent. Those artifical tests are error prone and don’t say anything, if you are not downloading anything from the server that the test is running on.

I thinmk they should be taken with a wee bit of salt. But they provide some reference points.

This is not always a reliable measure either because you can’t know the server load and what capacity is available on the server’s end. With that said though I still think it is a good rough estimate.
I don’t know how dated this is (it shouldn’t be), but have you and a friend download ttcp and do the test between each other. With this test you can know what is going on at both endpoints.
