It seems that each connection flatlines at 7-8kB/sec when I use jDownloader, yet the same server with firefox gives slighly more better speeds of 40-50kB/sec, and I can have several at once so totallying 200kB/sec or so.

Is anyone else seeing this discrimination against download tool? I have just put another install of windows on the computer and am seeing the exact same behaviour.

I'm having the exact same issue. Except for me each connection is maxing out at around 30Kb/s.

The problem has gone away for me for now. But I suspect it will slow down again tonight, we'll see.

make sure you have max connections on jdownloader set to 1 (max downloads is fine though). Having more than one set just seems to bork any downloads.

Yeah, its odd, there is some hosts that give good speeds, and using it on just http download from a friends server is also crippled to a stupidly low speed.

I guess slingshot are up to their tricks with useragent and other things to kill certain things they deem not important enough.
