Speed Issue

[bryan.adams08]

i m currently facing a problem. whenever i m downloading something, the speed is ticking to 40 KB/s..but when i m opening a forum site or a site with lots of picture & videos(not sites like orkut, yahoo etc.), the speed is raising to 1 -1.5 Mb/s..when i m doing a speedtest,, the speed is showing around 1 Mb/s. butwhen i m streaming videos from youtube, the speed sticks to 350 Kb/s. i m using a DU meter. my question is why i m not getting the speed while i m downloading?i m using IE 8 with flashget as download manager.

flashget integrates well with firefox too, just reinstall flashget once, so that it seems firefox and configures firefox to use flashget

Last night I checked the speed on speedtest & was getting about 1.2 Mbps.However the youtube videos were frustratingly buffering.Is it the problem with my pc/browser or the connection??I'm using Firefox with adblocker.

speedtest checks your speeds from a particular server. so that does not really ensure that you would get similar speeds from all servers on the web... youtube included. you might also be downloading HD quality videos. so disable that option. sometimes youtube is just plain slow at my place as well. i end up letting it buffer before i watch a video.
