Maybe it happens when multiple players download files in same time from upload host.

There seem to be at least around 175 other domains connected towards the same IP address as "lugui.esy.es".

You won't be able to use the full available speed at the same time as all the other customers on the same server.

When you're all using the network at once, you will experience degraded performance compared to if you are the only one of their customers using it at the given time.


According to your signature, it appears your game servers are in Brazil (or an ISP faking their location to this). Your download server appears to be within United Kingdom.

Downloads (generally network traffic) passing through multiple continents are also well known to influence your overall performance in a negative direction.
