Odd Networking Issue: Windows vs Linux

Ok I am not sure if anyone can explain this issue easily but I am
curious to know because this is very strange to me in a way. Ok, we
have a network at my school, which is now constantly slow because of
major network problems and kids are constantly downloading things. Now
it's rare when downloading a file in Windows at least using Internet
Explorer sometimes to get over 20 sometimes over 10. But I noticed at
the same time using a Linux machine, using Debian's apt-get or wget,
the machine on the same exact network can pull in like at least 50 kb/s
with no problem. Oonce in a while it can grab over 100kb/s which no
other computer (all running Windows) has at all been able to achieve
lately. Only this Linux machine seems to do this. Any explainatoions?
