Firefox download slow compared to Opera and IE

mhhh I got my 6MB connection and oddley enough only accross the water downloads are slower with firefox... ie when I download something from germany I get 500Kb down.. any uk or us server the speed is slow IE 100kb or 30kb!!! EVEN tried with several servers... after a LOT of testing I finally used IE and oddly things where waster!?? same with opera.

on driverheaven download I am downloading with Opera at a wopping 320Kb and with firefox same file 120Kb (one after the other).

Somebody??

That's very odd... Firefox usually downloads really fast for me vs IE.
IE and Opera may however have multiple streams open, allowing for several connections at once during a download.
Firefox doesn't come that way stock, you have to modify it yourself to do that.
You should try a custom Firefox build. You can find one somewhere in this mess:
