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: Third Party/Unofficial Builds - MozillaZine Forums |
