So someone in the United States is going to get faster speeds than say, someone in Japan, Russia, Mexico Ect. VPNs also play a part in the speed. My VPN is a paid VPN. I'm not saying anyone is using a free one, but if you are, you are almost guaranteed to get throttling. ISP's can also throttle your connection on some sites. They aren't supposed to, but they do. Alot of stuff can factor the speed you get file's from IA. Sometimes I have even gotten as low as half a megabyte per second from the Internet Archive. It really just depends, as someone mentioned, on the load on the particular server you are connected to at their end. The Porn you're trying to download is probably stored on the same server as other hentai or ya know.... live action tentacle videos, which can cause slowdowns. So, speeds might slow down because the books you're trying to access probably aren't stored on the same server as the Porn. ::cirnoshrug [/QUOTE]
