Well, what's your bandwidth??

Are you aware of the advertisement thing of bandwidth??

If it's 512kbps then your download speed or actual speed would be 60kBps(avg.)

See, it's 512kbps = 512 kilo bit per second not kilo byte per second.
So to calculate in byte, we'd divide it by 8, and that's 512/8 = 60kBps = 60 kilo Byte per second. Notice the diff. of b in kbps and kBps.
