what are you trying to download and from where. As mentioned it depends on the site you are connecting to.

post an example link an I'll see what speed I get

looking at your speed test, 1.4Mbps is nowhere near 8M, its nearer 1.5 - 2M. That should give you ~140KBps(Notice teh capital B as opposed to little b, it makes a big difference)

storage ??? whats that meant to be tsting because its V slow for a hard disk

A quick check of my 2M(waiting for Orange to unbundle) line gave 1.7Mbps with a 1M file in 4.5 seconds.

We need to check where you are downloading from, I reckons its either their site that slow or if P2P then teh peers are on slow lines or are sharing with lots of users simulatneously
