I have access to 15mbps of downstream bandwidth. If I download lots of files simultaneously from the same site, and increase the number of available worker threads in the download queue, I can make use of the full 15mbps. Good. But the bandwidth available for an **individual** queued item seems to top out at around 200Kb/sec. In other words, even if I'm downloading a single file from that server and nothing else is queued, the download speed caps at 200kB/sec. Now, in the midst of that download, I can start a new download of a different file from that SAME server, and that download will run in parallel with the first. Both downloads will operate at 200kB/sec. Any idea why this would be the case? Is there some internal "per thread" bandwidth cap that maxes out at 200? There's a "KBps/Worker" setting which I've tried setting to 0 (default) and also to very high values but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
What's up with that?
