It appears that there is a bandwidth shaper involved ...
It is not uncommon for ISPs to hobble links when they
detect some types of download.
Also when packets are lost the link speed and TCP/IP window for the
download is reshaped. One Vista I see what you see so I am inclined
to believe that the network has issues.
I would use the bandwidth limits of curl or wget to see if I can
keep under the rate that triggers packet loss or detection triggers.
