I was using Gaim with the MSN protocol because my friend uses Windows. My internet connection is 1024 kbps, I have a little LAN at home and my other two workstations were turned off, so my bandwidth was not penalized, and my download speed never raised 6.3 kbps. I really don't think this is normal. Even more, every time this friend send me some file via MSN Messenger-Gaim (MSN plugin) the same speeds are reached. Before someone points it out, I must say that my friend's internet connection is also 1024 kbps. Any clue? I think I know the reason but I will reserve my thoughts.
