I have a quick question regarding internet speed. I went to download a file from a website on my girlfriends computer, which is connected via a wireless adapter to the internet. I noticed it was downloaded at about 210 kb/s. I went to download the same file through my computer which is also connected to the internet via a wireless adapter. Both the adapters are the same, and the computers are about the same distance from the router. Both the signal strengths are the same as well. However, I am getting a download speed of over 700 kb/s. I am just wondering what could be causing such a drastic difference in download speeds.

Note: I began my download probably 4 minutes after hers.
 
Site Traffic...
Time of the Day...
OS Types/Drivers...

They could all play a part
Try this:
2 different files (large...to rule out burst speeds at short-length connections) from 2 different sites from both computers at the same time of the day
