How do I increase the file download speed?
When downloading outside of firefox, I manage anywhere from 5mb/s to 16mb/s, depending what I am downloading and where from. Yet, when a file has to download from within the browser, it downloads at 1/30th to 1/10th of that if I am lucky. Is there some kind of restriction built in to firefox that I might be able to change or am I just S.O.L?

Download / upload speeds depend on 3 things.
- The speed of the ISP
- The speed of the sender
- The speed of the receiver
Since you seem to have decided Firefox is the issue, lets work on that.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager. There are also external programs that can be used.

Did you check your security software (firewall, anti-virus) to make sure that this isn't affecting the download speed?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
