Downloading seems to be so slow sometimes, I hardly reach the 80k/s. My maximum download speed ever was something like 300-400k/s. People can download at 800-900k/s from servers around here (Belgium) and even +2MByte/s from universities etc. I'd love to reach those speeds too when I'm downloading from my own server.
What should I do?
Perhaps it is because my server is located overseas?
(I'm using LiquidWeb's dedicated hosting services)
I put a test file (openoffice 1.1.4), I'd like to find out about your download speeds + approximate locations

Moved to Network Outages and Updates.

I thought I should not place my topic in the outage forum, as I don't think this is a liquidweb problem. Liquidweb's services are one of the bests I've seen around.

which speed are you paying for by your provider? this could make a huge difference (at least here in the netherlands).

I asked liquidweb through a ticket, and got the answer that the port we are connected to is 10/100TX. From what I've read of the American contributors to this topic, I can conclude that the speed we get is approximately 25mbps. There is almost no load on the network traffic, it is negligible.
So in theory I should be able to get pretty good speeds around here too, as a download from e.g. microsoft.com's windowsupdate site can go up to 600-700k/s, sometimes even more, or is it just a fantasy of mine?

A stable 1.2MB/sec from NYC on a 10Mbit office line. Pretty good from here.

I am going to go out on a limb -
I will guess you are running winXP SP2.
If you are, then a possible solution is to do the following:
do a regedit and search for TcpWindowSize
If the value is less than 0xffff ( 65535) change it, then do a repair on the network connection and see if that improves things.
If you don't want to do a regedit - grab a copy of drTCP - I found it at http://63.76.77.195:8080/Download/DrTCP/ and set the Tcp Receive Window to 65535
