Download library very slow

Every time I have downloaded anything recently from the FsX download library I can barely get better than 18 kbs. From the old server I would typically get 100 kbs at least. Am I doing something wrong?
 
Ya might wanna look at the entire Alphaoldies archive- ALL generate the '404' error, been doing it for weeks now.
 
Three different files downloaded (thanks Piglet) and I am getting 150 KB/sec down load speed.

Test your download/up load speed and see if it is off par from what it should be.

I am not sure what site you would use but in the US I use http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ I access the Atlanta GA server.

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1356 kbps (169.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 213 kbps (26.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
 
I checked on the server and it has its normal Blazing Fast connection. So it should be OK. What I did find is two of the other Admins are logged on. One of them it is his task to upload the missing files. If he was doing a lot of uploads that might explain the slow period you experienced.

If you try again and find you have slow down loads then it must be a problem with a segment of the internet. I think (not 100% sure) the servers are in Dallas which means a problem between you and it could degrade the download speed.
 
Same tonight. Here's a screenie of my download speed from the FsX repaint library:

For a moment there I thought this was going to turn into one of those Browser wars that I so much Hate.

But I checked the transfer rates in Firefox which I had been using and IE which you are using.

Both were about the same.

I am at a lose as to what it is but I can say its not the server.
