Ok, there must be some law of the universe or something that has the rules regarding download speeds. No matter how big the file, where the server is, or how much you have still to obtain, a file always remains the same time from completion. If it starts off at twenty minutes then that is how long it will be until the very last moment. The servers all get together and decide to throttle the bandwidth the exact percentage that the file has downloaded.



So, with ten percent gone, they throttle it ten percent. When you reach ninety-eight then it is ninety-eight percent restricted. See how it works now?
