    it’s the fact that he has a 1 gig router. with overhead only like 940 Mbps is possible

      His router is rated for 1 gig, meaning it’ll do minimum that amount.

      It’s not like they’re going to set a software rate limit to make sure he doesn’t go over that amount in ideal circumstances.

      Unless he owns a Cisco router and hasn’t purchased a performance license.

      That can’t be right because I’ve seen higher speeds than that during downloads with a download manager on my 1GBs infrastructure https://imgur.com/a/aIaVpi8

        9k. somehow you have less overhead. or that counts the overhead into the total transfer speed. you still have less then 1 gbps

          That’s windows task manager measuring the bandwidth at the network card. Not sure how or why it would incorporate switching overhead.
