I try to fetch as fast as it can by using more threads on a large fetch list. But, the fetcher starts download at speed much lower than the full bandwidth allows. And the start download speed varies a lot from run to run, 200kb/s to 1200kb/s on my DSL line. This variation also happens on T1 line that I just tested. Could someone share experience on how to make fetcher use the full bandwidth? We know the speed drops gradually during a long fetch run. But, can the fetch achieve the highest speed allowed by the bandwidth when fetch starts?
