Two FTP transfer speeds

[<dsavage@peaknet.net>]

Ever since I began FTP downloads from download.fedora.redhat.com at my
office where we have very high speed service, I've noticed that my
connections are either very fast or very slow. When fast, downloads run at
~220KB/sec. When slow, they creep along at ~12KB/sec or less. When I get a
slow connection, I shut down and restart the FTP session. More often than
not, I'll get a high speed connection when I try again.

It's almost as though there are X high speed quotas allowed and Y slow
speed quotas. Can anyone explain this two-speed behavior at Red Hat?
