Hi, thanks for your reply!
I am aware of bursts and user handling delays and those things, but i definitely had an average rate of about 190 kB/s after 170MB - it took about 15 minutes! I am currently downloading the same file (http://ftp.freenet.de./pub/filepilot/windows/spiele/3d_shooter/alienarena/alienarena2006ue.zip) and checking the bytes transmitted is a little bit less: about 150kB/s (1200 kbps) right now.
Stoped download and ran your test:
Download Connection is:: 194 Kbps about 0.19 Mbps (tested with 386 kB)
Download Speed is:: 24 kB/s
I think this is a bit weird...
