It happens with my ISP that the single connection bandwidth looks to
be capped. I have 8Mbit but a single transfer rarely exceeds 2Mbit,
unless it is very late night or Sunday morning :) Powerpill allowed me
to fully use my bandwidth. I recognize it's a bad traffic shaping
problem (and powerpill had its shortcomings too), but it solved it for
me.
