I just made a quick test using the same browser (to not to complicate things with wget) firefox (almost the same versions, the ESR release line). Used the mirror: https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/ Started to download the file: install62.fs (360MB) In OpenBSD when the download starts: 11 minutes (remaining), download rate: fluctuating between 450-480 KB/sec, sometimes drops to 320-350 KB/sec, and the remaining time increases to 14 minutes. I wrote here the units (minutes, KB, sec) exactly as appears in the firefox download window. In Windows using the same mirror and the same file, on the other hand the starting download rate is between 1300-1400 KB/sec, and so of course the download time is 2-3 minutes. Just for more info, and to be more precise with the tests I used wget too in OpenBSD. Her is the output of wget after the downloading was started for about 10 seconds:
$ wget https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/install62.fs --2018-02-14 00:39:01-- https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/install62.fs Resolving ftp2.eu.openbsd.org (ftp2.eu.openbsd.org)... 137.208.8.135 Connecting to ftp2.eu.openbsd.org (ftp2.eu.openbsd.org)|137.208.8.135|:443... connected.

So if you have any idea, any new testing method, please tell me, I will try. But after all those tests as I mentioned above, I really think is an issue with the OpenBSD wifi (I'm not a specialist so I can not tell if it is a firmware issue, or default configuration issue, but I think it is.) To be honest my humbling opinion is that it is a firmware issue, Because I saw once in the system message buffer a wpi firmware error (I already mentioned this in an earlier message in the same thread, so you can look around, or if you want I could find it for you and show it). And to answer your question more directly as you can see the programs that I used to test the speed always used KB/s (in case of wget), or KB/sec (in case of firefox). So it is absolutely excluded the term of bits. Thanks, Zsolt > There is a bit of information that I am missing.
