Using wget on a remote server to download a photo from my office server:

1,730,373   15.2K/s   in 1m 46s
2009-06-09 17:42:24 (15.9 KB/s)

This is blazingly  fast compared to getting the same file via rsync

1.73M 100%    5.89kB/s    0:04:46 (xfer#1, to-check=0/2)

sent 33 bytes  received 1.73M bytes  5.76K bytes/sec
total size is 1.73M  speedup is 1.00


Using wget to download a 70 MB movie from archive.org to the same remote server shows a very fast connection on the 
remote server.
70,490,392  2.43M/s   in 27s

Using wget to download the same movie to my office computer
