Hey guys, I have been noticing this wierd anomaly with my internet speeds, comcast rates my speed at 25 mb/s down and 5 mb/s up, wich is great, but when I use speedtest.net, the results are usually 8ms ping, 30 mb/s down (wow), and 6 mb/s up. this is great, just when I download a file in crome, steam, or pretty much any download service, I get about 6mb/s, wich is ok, really, the only utility that downloaded at the speedtest.net speeds was autocad and autodesk inventor.
any explanations for this? I am using a cat 6 ethernet cable, directly to my router (or through an ethernet switch, it does not really change.) and I have tried it with just my computer on the network, or my computer and 3 poweredge 2950 III's all running web servers, mail servers, and other stuff. I have tried switching my firewall (poweredge 2850 with ip cop) off and trying without it, but with no change, any help would be much apreciated.
