1.33MB/Sec - which is just over 10 megabits per sec, but others above have posted faster, so either their calculations are off or you have more than a 10mbit uplink.

~250... must be a lot of people on...

Also - can't trust the Firefox download manager for speeds, as it starts downloading before you even hit accept... so it always spikes way high at first.

wget from an EV1servers.net box (Dallas area, I think)

21:43:43 (2.29 MB/s) - `100mb.bin' saved [104857600/104857600]

I don't think you're on a 10mbit port...

max throughput was 3406.91Kbytes/sec
avg since i put my first post is 73.35kbytes/sec
total transfer is 4.39gb.

looks like the rush to download the file was over around 9PM EST, and since then it's gone down to like 1 or 2 downloads per hour, henc ethe slower average :)

will try bumping this thread over the weekend to see what happens!
