Ok. First of all, it doesn't matter at all what your friend was using,
be it a web browser, or an ftp program, you'll download at the same
speed with either. Second, you're making lots of assumptions
here. Namely, at the time you might have tried this with him, there
might have been a lot of internet traffic between you and him, which
could certainly have a big enough impact on the speed, given a large
enough amount of traffic between you and him. Also, have you taken into
account your upload bandwidth, his download bandwidth, and a
combination of both, assuming overhead as Thomas described before?
