I have allways noticed that when i start a download it start off downloading at a very high rate and emidiatly starts working its way down to a comfortable level... Ive noticed this on any internet connection. when you first start a download its a 900 kbs and then over about 10 seconds it works its way down to a cumfy 350 or less. I wonder if this is actually the server cutting it down or if its windows. Certainly I'm not the only one to notice this. it would be great to keep it where it starts off, Fat chance though...
