Ok people; let's settle down
I just took the liberty of talking to a friend of mine who actually OWNS a server (And more) and according to him it's not common for someone to download at 10 gb's a second, as its rare and expensive, but it does exist.
In fact, there is an outfit that OFFERS 10 GB DOWNLOAD SPEED, Known as
Nelson CableSo in short, I highly doubt AVMF8 has such a connection, so I'm also in belief that he misspoke.
However, that doesn't excuse you, AVMF8, for being a complete child and not following the advice of your peers. People here are trying to help you, they aren't OBLIGATED to do so but they are doing it out of their free time and will.
Let me remind of you things: The net is unpredictable. You can download at a nice 500 KB/S from one site, but then download at a mere 54 KBs from another.
For my download from SD it originally started off at a mere 15 KBs a second, you want to know WHY? Because forgotten about a few file transfers I was doing to my FTP, as well as, a friend of mine transferring a file to my router. Both of which were eating up my bandwidth.
Now, I highly doubt you deal with a Linux router, nor do you have an FTP and manage files. So I'll cut you some slack and insist it’s an ISP issue.
Contrary to popular belief, ISPs don't always know what they are doing. Sometimes they'll claim your line is fine, where in reality it is not. A prime example is right now, my download/upload rate is very low now however my ISP claims it’s just fine and working as intended.
That was until a few minutes ago when they called back and apologized, saying that there is a down line in the area that could be the reason for my problems. (Now, why did they call me back? Don't know, perhaps they felt obligated to correct a mistake they made)
That right there could be your problem, while it may not be a line in your area, it could be a line in the general vicinity, somewhere outside your city and along the course to Stardocks server.
Also, just because the speed test shows you have a nice upload/download to the speed tests SERVER doesn't mean it’s the same to Stardocks SERVER. Again, the internet is not like that. A prime example is me, I have an excellent connection to Fenton, MI. However, in my attempt to Tracert Stardocks server I got varying degress of connection(including several disconnects, makes me wonder if Stardock doesn't want people tracerting). So just because you have a great upload/download speed, doesn’t mean you’ll get the same response from a server.
Now, please learn some manners and start treating those around you who are trying to help with some courtesy and respect. If you continue to disrespect everyone here you may suddenly find yourself WITH NO help at all.
Special Note: 3726 KB/s is NOT 600 MBs, its 3.6 MB's
Comparison test:
This was to the furthest place that I know of on our lovely blue Earth (And no I'm not bragging, merely using this as an example)

THIS is to my general location (Nevada)

Notice a difference? Not really, now if I was to show you the information I got from tracerting, then you would really notice the difference. Though I'd love to give it, it seems I can't tracert them now (timeout just after leaving a router in Nevada) so perhaps later I'll post the results
