  1. I know this is an old post, but i have to say that i have the same behavior. Firefox download files faster than Chrome, at least from Megaupload and Fileserve downloading as a free user(not premium). This is absurd i know, but i can certify this. I use to be a firefox user, but then when i change my computer some problems arise with 2D rendering in firefox with my ati car in windows xp, so firefox was working really bad, apparently not a direct fault of firefox people, but.... nevertheless... So i start using Chrome, that doesn't have this problems in rendering, so with my hardware was indeed far more fast than firefox. At the beginning i get the sensation that firefox download files faster than chrome (beside the inherent problems in 2D rendering that has nothing to do here). But as you all say here that is not possible, what it matters is the server where i download and my internet connection itself, so i didn't pay much attention to the issue. But now, i can certify, because i did lot of test that firefox is downloading files faster than chrome from Megaupload and Fileserve, at least. It can't be fortuitous, i have made many test. With megaupload i get prom 120 kb/s in chrome and in a minute later in firefox with the same file, the same server, the same connection i get 280 kb/s. With Filserve i get prom 110 kb/s in chrome and in a minute later in firefox with the same file, the same server, different ip (i have to re-connect to change my ip to download another file in filserve as free user) i get 320 kb/s. Various test similar result. My internet connection is 3MBs(375kb/s) This is very strange indeed, but i have been thinking, for example in TCP connections you have many option to configure in a connection, such as size of packets, the tcp version itself=2 or 3 and many more, some have to do with packets verification which can lead to bad performance if the connection is okay and you keep verifying with nonsense packets, for example. This options need to be permitted in the server and then you can set them or not in the client(in this case firefox or chrome) I think that, although is a little absurd at first thought, it is not so ridiculous to think that in the same sever with all the same, different browsers(eventually with different set options) can download at different speeds. But i have to repeat, beside the possible explanation, Firefox is downloading files way faster than chrome from this servers and others(with this "others" i didn't really made lot of tests but.... i can tell). Also, i need to say, that also in many other sites i can't see a significant difference. What do you think? I think you should try by yourself, to discard i'm going crazy jaja!!
