I'm not sure when this started, I'd have to guess around a month ago.

I'm seeing tests peg right at 10mb on all three of my XP machines.

- Browser doesn't seem to matter (FF4, Chrome, Opera, IE)
- I don't think it's network (MTU, rwin) related because flash based tests are still ok.  (FTP transfers are fine too)
- All three dual boot linux.  In linux testmy.net works fine.
- There is nothing in common between the 3 XP installs as far as anti-virus/spyware or AV software.

I'm stumpped.  

Perhaps you could put a large dummy file on the server I could D/L and watch speed.  That could eliminate the actual test mechanism.


[edit]
Forgot to add:  I can open two browsers, and run two tests simultaneously and both come back right at 10mb.

Weird, I bet your RWIN is set incorrectly.  Try DrTCP from DSLReports.com or TCP Optimizer from SpeedGuide.net

Here's a static file on TestMy.net to test from >> 100MB Static Test

Well I'm totally flippin' embarrassed!


I know I tweaked my settings a long time ago.  
I let that and the good flash test results convince me it couldn't be rwin related.  


I guess in hindsight all the flash based tests I was running to were closer so  rwin didn't matter as much.

<sigh>  Feel free to delete my retarded post since it's not a bug.

I had a feeling.  Yeah... flash based tests don't detect that at all, very common problem.  I think people are starting to realize how inaccurate flash tests are.

This post is still a great addition to the forums.  It may spark an "AH HA!" moment in a future visitor and help them with the same problem.   -- Although, I've moved it to a more appropriate forum.

I'm glad it was an easy fix for you, please tell your friends about the site.
