When you say one more file do you literally mean one more file (like .rar) or one more article? If its the first, then I have no idea. If its the second, I guess grabit is just closing the connections and since its the last article, theres no use opening up new connections and so the speed slows.

The problem with Grabit is it uses 1 connection per file, if you use 4 connections (100kb each) you would get full speed with 4 files, 300kb/s with 3 files, 200kb/s with 2 files and.. 100kb/s with 1 file.

Well, there you go. I didnt know that about grabit.

So I suppose you can switch to Newsleecher because it uses all its connections to download files. But, newsleecher isnt free.
