Why would MY download speed be slow?

I didn't want to keep pushing this up in the thread on dixiesys in the Hot Deals forum, so I thought I'd come here.

Here's the quote from that thread, regarding download speeds:



<< Weird - it has seemed that file transfer speed for me through Dixiesys hasn't been great. Even a basic web page hasn't been extremely fast loading for me. So, I checked, downloading an mp3 I had up there, and was only able to max out at ~15k. Then I check the 11mb .mov file someone posted earlier, and get a transfer speed of ~70k, which is where my DSL maxes out.

My files: slow.

His file: fast.

Anyone else want to compare?

My mp3: The Other Fly

The other test file: mov file

Why would I get slower download speeds from two sites hosted from the same service, when everyone else seems to get the same speeds for both, or even higher for my file?

Any ideas? I figured I would give th support guys a break over there, since it seems to be a problem on my end?
