Well, yes and no. There are alot of variables in determining how fast your download will be. I like to apply this to a common occurrence in life. Lets say I bought a fast car, lets say a Fararri. I get out on the open road expecting to zoom from point A to point B, well, little did I know, here comes a stop sign, now a red light, next a pedestrian and lastly.......traffic! See, I never anticipated all of the obstacles that would eventually slow this power horse of a car down, I only thought blindly of it's speed. The same applies to file sharing, you may have the fastest PC and the fastest connection available, but you must anticipate that when you are downloading files from other users that they too may be mirroring what you are doing. You may have several files downloading and so too may that other user. Not only that, but what if you are running other programs besides the file sharing program, the other user may be doing this also. Then there is the congestion of the internet itself, keep in mind firewalls also, they hinder downloads to an extent. See, these are a few of many factors that will sometimes put a dent your in objective of gaining those downloads at light speed. Just be prepared to deal with it no matter what your connection is. :)
