It appears that when I download an update for firefox or download the installer from your website I get a really slow download rate around 150KB/sec but when I download from any other site like http://download.cnet.com/windows/ I get good speeds. So I was thinking maybe its a problem on your guy's end. Hopefully this helps because I don't know if others are having this issue as well.

It is possible to change the max persistent connections in Firefox in the about:config or:

Also enable pipelining, which is enabled: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/soft.../8-hacks-to-make-firefox-ridiculously-fast-468317

I appreciate the reply enabled pipelining but that made no difference, I'm still of the opinion its something server end because I just tested it again after enabling pipelining same issue. It took me 4 minutes to download a 38.0 MB file from your website www.mozilla.org and took me 5 seconds to download the same file from http://download.cnet.com/windows/.
