For what?

I am using an ADSL with 8 MBit (= 830 KByte/Second) and
never had problems downloading one Package after one.

Since last week I have in Paris an E3 (34 MBit) and now
I can download as the hell.

Downloading from multiple servers parallel bring nothing.

Some other bottleneck?  Allowing 1000 Client-Connections to an E1?
