Flashget problem?

    Ok my friend recently got Eircom's new 24mb product and we installed it this evening. As he lives close to the exchange he actually gets the full 24mb speed.

    This evening we tried downloading a few things to check for consistency and and when we downloaded Ubuntu from heanet (super fast server) on firefox it gave the 24mb speed no problem, however when we tried downloading unbuntu from heanet again of flashget the speeds were all over the place and varied from as low as 800megs to the full 24megabits. We also tried Rapidshare premium and it was a similar story of high speed on firefox and variable on flashget!

    Have any others had problems with Flashget and high speeds? The fastest I ever used flashget with was 15mb and it worked fine and consistent. My friend is on the older version of flashget.

    Anyone have any ideas, Flashget is very easy to use and is there an alternative to flashget which works as good but more importantly with the higher speeds?
