Inconsistent download speed with Flashget! Dialup.?

I’m trying to download a simple 1.9 MB file and its taking too long. LOL. Even for a dial up it should be faster. I see a speed between 2.9 to 4.9, sometimes 5.something, yet the actual counter displays slower. And by slower it shows like 1.6 or lower. Ugh *exasperated* Do I need to set something in the options menu to help download faster or what? My internet connection is at 26.4 Kb/s. Dont laugh. If you can help me I’d appreaciate it.

Why aren’t upload and download speeds on my satellite connection that same?

On my satellite connection my upload speed is about 50k/sec vs. a download speed of 500k/sec. I measured my dialup speed and I get an upload speed of 300k/sec and a download speed between 30-46k/sec.
If you average the upload and download speeds of each of the two methods, the “broadband” is only about 1 ½ times as fast as dialup, not the 10x faster than dialup advertised.

why are connection speeds 10x slower than advertised?

When I had 56k dialup the practical download speed was 5k/sec. Now I have 250k DSL and the practical download speed is 26k/sec.

When i connect to dialup connection of a 52 kbps speed and download something the ” download speed ” is 4kbps?

the computer connects to a speed of 52 kbps( wriiten in system tray ) ,then why when i download some thing the speed is onlyyyyyyyyy 4 or 5 kbps…………………???
