Hi guys

I use to have high results when I did the speed test but for last couple of day the speed has lost like 10 MB

That download I use to get was 18***

The speedtest often returns around 5-7meg for me, but a good multi-part download, using something like Flashgot, or a Usenet download, will often come down at almost the full 20meg.

Don't trust the speedtesters.
