Re: Dowload speed increase
      Mon May 10 2004 08:29 PM

I don't know whether this is what happens, but the way I figure it is that when you click on the button to start a download, it starts saving the info immediately, whilst you're still typing in the save in details. When you click on the save button, the download rate measurement starts, but it isn't starting from zero, but whatever amount has been downloaded.. However the clock starts from zero. The download rate is then an average, which evens out the longer you are downloading. So your computer doesn't download quicker at the beginning, the measurement isn't accurate.
I hope this makes sense! I know what I mean (sort of) anyway. If anyone knows any better please enlighten me.
