Those results almost exactly match the throttling but the other site, although FTP and shown as such in wireshark comes down at full speed.
Most odd - and I am not going to say which it is otherwise some rotten person will probably fix it.

Such little faith in humanity...
I was trying to remember another site with larger download files as the Demon folder predates BB so most of the files are pretty small - but I just found this one with Google: ftp://ftp.speedchecker.org/

Therefore a speedtest for browsing will give different results to an FTP download.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'
