How quickly you can download something is not only bottle-necked by your downstream, it’s also bottle-necked by the upstream of whatever server or download repository you are using. If the server cannot or is not willing to allocate more than 10Mb/s (watch the capitalization!) of his upstream bandwidth to you then that’s what you’re going to get.
