This is ONLY a test of the download speed from the download server to your computer. It isn't a measure of your actual max download speed. Plus other factors such as your local network speed (usually only if using wireless) can affect it. What I suggest doing is installing
You must login or register to view this content. then find a large file to download (maybe a CD or something) and letting it download with 12 or so concurrent connections. It should download at your max internet speed. I do this on my 15Mbps connection and max it out while downloading. I can download a 700MB CD in about 6 minutes.
