46.5 kbps fastest download speed (i think this is too slow )

adsl 384kbps

I used to get ~500k/s when I lived on campus.

At home I can get around 130k/s from a good server, but usually around 60.

OpenLoop

for a 384kbps, 46.5kbps average download is good. My comcast cable connection advertises 4.0Mbps and i get up to 450Kbps on Windows and 600Kbps on Linux (don't ask me why but it has to do with the tcp stack thing)

But it also depends on the server you're downloading from

Cerulean

I get ~800 kbps when downloading from a fast enough server. Fluctuates a bit, but around there.

DaWei

500 down. Varies widely depending upon server, time of day, and how many are simultaneously sharing the bandwidth available in the local infrastructure you're connected to. You can optimize your network settings for your particular type of connection.

hmmm, I believe it was 6.2 kbs, average being around 3.2

Ultemecia

8 bits equal a byte right?
Well if that's the case then this could explain the seemingly false advertisments.

4.0Mbps=4.0MegaBitsPerSecond
~450Kbps may be rated in bytes instead of bits.

Berto

2mb = 210 kbps,

havnt had to d/l anyhting heavy on linux for a while, i might put gentoo on my server though with thowse kinda d/l speeds.
