Weaver, you don't have to center your attention on the time it takes but
the download speed (KiB/MiB per second). As I said, using Oracle servers
I can get up to 10 MiB/s which is the best number I have ever got.

That's a common feeling from users with high speed links, but there is
not much we can do, simply put: todays Internet is not prepared for
providing that speeds but in counted sites/hosts :-(
Anyway, remember that you are paying for 100 Mbps that is around 12 MiB/s.
