Sounds like you are pulling at the max speed that the server is sending.... remember, just because the speed test says 186, 177 is pretty good....

This may be because you have kept wrong settings in your FDM software.

It is a good software. make maximum speed in that a auto/maximum option.

secondly if u r storing it to hard disk drive which is almost full then your download may be faster but hard disk storage speed may be less. So store it to a drive which is free.

lastly try using other download managers. But I think Free Download Manager (FDM) is best. So it is up to you to decide. try it out. may be it will work. Who knows?

Thank you.
Barca does rule.

Anyways, if you are downloading from Limewire, or a torrent, even from itunes, it will ALWAYS not download as fast as your allotted speed.

Other things must connect to the internet, and are connected all the time.
You will never reach your max speed. Unfortunately that's the way it is. For eg. i'm on an 8mb (megabit) connection but in reality it's an UPTO 8mb connection and the best speed i've got was around 700k/s but that only ever happened once. Usually my speeds are between 450-550k/s which i'm quite happy with.
