I usually get 8-9 MB/s file downloads with a 100Mbps connection. I think the speed is actually limited by the laptop's slow HDD.

- hwatson 12y agoConsidering that 100Mbit/s is 12.5MByte/s, the speeds you're seeing aren't horribly distant from your "up to" speed. [For reference's sake, 8MByte/s is 64Mbit/s and 9MByte/s is 72Mbit/s
- JoshTriplett 12y agoThe usual rule of thumb I've seen for incorporating protocol overhead is to divide by 10 instead of 8: a 100Mbps connection can usually download about 10MB/s in practice (over http, scp, rsync, etc).

- witty_username 12y ago8-9 MB/s write speed for a HDD is horribly slow.
