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?

http vs ftp? ftp far more reliable.

Besides, Internet is unix, msie is a clueless browser ;)
