I just signed up for linoid last week and I've been getting some very disappointing download speeds.

Everything else about the service is great, but the speeds are way slower than downloading files from my shared host. Here's some data:

I stopped it because it was taking forever. I didn't get over 120Kb/s during the entire transfer.
Any idea why i'm getting such slow speeds from the newark datacenter from home (16Mbit) and work (100Mbit)? Help!
