Hi there, the other day I happened to download a load of free windows themes from the Microsoft website and to my surprise, the themes were downloading at speeds of around 1mbps while I just have a 384kbps internet plan on which normal downloading takes place at 50kbps. I want to find out why this difference and how can I use this thing to my benefit
Thank you.

Microsoft.com likes to verify that your internet connection and speed is trusted. So this can benefit you when it comes to not getting viruses. You must have a good Server that processes the files being downloaded as they download. But 1mps seems a little slow to me I'm use to a faster connection.
