Finally, don't rule out the possibility that your ISP is throttling
you. While you may be synced at 50M and may be able to transfer at that
for short periods (and thus, the ISP can rightly claim that you have a
50M connection), they could conceivably throttle your connection in the
longer term.
I think this is quite the most likely possibility. I have only
anecdotal reports from friends but what I hear is that often ISPs
allow a full speed burst but then throttle for long term steady state
data transfer. That matches your reported behavior exactly. This
allows customers to run a speed test and have it report full speed but
prevent them from getting that speed for a long download such as a
full system upgrade or a large install ISO image download. Are you
sure your ISP isn't throttling you?

I wouldn't put anything past those jackasses but am still attempting to
gather information. Would wireshark be a good tool to do an in depth
diagnosis of the problem? I've gotten a little side tracked with another
problem but plan to get back to this in the next couple of days. Any
comments will be appreciated.
