Use FTP... you'll get a transfer rate ie: 56Kbps/sec or 156Kbps/sec depending on
your cap.

you need to download from update-server using FTP at the command line to get
a reported download speed. Not from IE or an FTP gui program.

from update-server
if it says it take 3 mins
then you have the speed right, that is 1.5Mbps
if it says 9 then you still have 512kbps
