I've downloaded Movies and songs from the Web, and from IRC...

And I was just curious as to why it seems to go so much faster when I’m downloading from an IRC Fserve?

anyone?

Less trafic perhaps. Suppose you have a guy on IRC with a hot DSL (or better) connection, and he’s sending a file to JUST YOU. You get all the bandwidth. As opposed to a website which (depending on the server) may have limited bandwidth, and MANY simultaneous users. Was that the answer you were looking for?
