Here, speedtest (image 1) says 1.7mbp/s and when downloading something, I get about 100-200kbp/s... (image 2) http://imgur.com/a/lo1fx (2 images) Why?
If you want to measure your download speed or upload speed in Kilobytes per second, go to http://speedtest.net/user-settings.php. Under "Speed Measurement," use the drop-down box and select kilobytes then hit save. EDIT: Nvm. I read too quickly.
Some sources throttle you HARD. Try downloading the same file from 2 different sources at once (DownThemAll supports this) or using multithreaded downloaders (again, DTA).
I see no issue. Speedtest is is showing Mb/s and download is in KB/s. Seems about right, 1.7Mb/s would be around 212KB/s, so 192KB/s is not far off it.
There are two reasons, your download speed the browser is reporting is in bytes as Armadillo suggested and speedtest is in bits (divide bits by 8 to get bytes). The other reason if you are getting a slower download speed is that the server cannot manage the bandwidth at the moment.
8 bits in a byte, so divide that speed by 8 to get your filesize download speed. EDIT: Holy crap I'm slow.
