How many times have we all downloaded a file from someone with a very high declared connection speed only to have the transfer happen at a slower rate than with a dial-up modem user?
And this is not only a problem with people who incorrectly report their connection speed. You can very often see when someone, maybe briefly, has a reduction in connects and suddenly you are downloading at your maximum. These are people who are trying to do way too much with way too little and they slow down everything. This is a problem which seems to be becoming worse and worse.
btw Gamer, these comments are not aimed at you..... I'm simply adding to your comments
