i have slow speeds on speedtests.  i get about 1400Kb down.  Now when i download on p2p sites i can get close to 4mb down.  this doesn't make any sense.  my advertised speed by the way is up to 4mb down.  i just can't understand why all the speed tests show my speed to be 1400kb down.  there is however one speed test which shows my speed as being 3.8mb down it is  http://speedtest.oceanic.com/  however people have told me that site isn't accurate.  maybe someone can figure this one out.

yea i have tweaked and the speed tests never go above 1.5mb.  however on p2p sites i can download over 400KB.  just doesn't make any sense.  on download.com and internet sites i can only get 1.5mb, but on the p2p networks is when i can download a lot faster.

u might be downloading inflated files (i heard .s1 mention this recently...)

something like, the file is smaller than what it says, so it says you are downloading more than you actually are.
