I'll give it a shot here in a few minutes.
Result: Just what I thought. I max out at 600KB/s if using just the one connection. I can max out at 1000KB/s and over 2000KB/s with Comcast powerboost when all 10 connections are used.
So I guess there is really nothing that a user can do on his end? I kind of suspected that could be the way it was, but I was hoping it was different.
I guess it is just up to the server you are using at a particular time and how saturated it is?
Well I guess patience is a virtue when it comes to getting headers on some days. Thanks for the explanation.
