As stated by another user I saw, speeds are very unstable, but also a related problem. A prominent example arose for me today: I was downloading a 4GB group of files, speed was at a quite respectable 2MB/s. As the download reached 99.7%, DL speed began to decrease as usual, but then with less than 10 seconds to go at 99.9%, at jumped back down to 99.7% with 350MB or so left to download and stayed at the decreased DL speed of ~20kbps. The remaining amount to be downloaded kept jumping back up after decreasing to mere kilobytes, and this happened over and over again for more than half an hour. Needless to say it was a bit frustrating because I never actually knew anywhere near how much was really left to download as it changed more than a dozen times.
