Local download speed

I'm on cable, and the fastest I've ever downloaded from the Org is 65kbps, average usually being 40. I go to any other site, I get around 100 minimum. Is there something about the Org's server that's causing it to go so slow?

Correction, I mean kb/sec (kilobytes), since kbps(kilobits) is different.

No, that's likely your end. I've never had any trouble with my downloads from the org going that slow.

There's a lot that factors into throughput. I've been able to attain download speeds in excess of 300 kB/s sometimes; other times, 40. It's a function of the traffic on nago, routers upstream from nago, your ISP, your ISP's network, whatever networks the traffic is being routed through, and so forth.

By the way, you mean kB/sec, as B is the accepted abbreviation for byte. kb/sec is still kilobits per second.
