If anyone knows why IIS insists on capping the download bandwidth, and
what I can do about it, I'd appreciate a pointer.

There is only one place I can think of where a limit can be set

In the Internet Service Manager, go to WWW | Advanced and see if the
check box for "Limit Network Use by all Internet Services on this
computer" is checked. If it is, uncheck it.

I delved through the IIS controls, and can't find the setting you
mention. I even searched through the registry for the word "limit"
without turning up anything. I do find mention in the help of a
setting for "slow connection limit" , wich seems like it might be what
I'm looking for - is that the setting you refer to?

Please, would you give specific instructions where I can find the
setting?

Sorry, should have included that to start with, as it is in different
places depending on which version of IIS/Windows you are running.

IIS 3.0 on NT 4 Server:
Start | Programs | Microsoft Internet Server (common) | Internet
Service Manager
right click the WWW service line, choose Service Properties, click on
Advanced tab

IIS 5.0/6.0 on Win2k (WinXP is probably the same, as is IIS 4)
Start | Programs | Administrative Tools | Internet Services Manager
(If Admin tools not on program menu, access it through Control Panel)

Right click the computer name, click properties, uncheck Enable
Bandwidth Throttling, then click OK

on Win2k Server, Advanced Server, and Win 2k3 server (and possibly
WinXP), there is one more setting
expand the my_computer_name branch
right click "Default Web Site" and choose Properties (You'll need to
do this for each web site if you have setup more than one)
Click the Performance Tab, uncheck "Enable Bandwidth Throttling" and
click OK
(I believe this is Enabled by default, so this is probably the
culprit)

If this doesn't do it, email me off list with your OS and IIS
versions, and I'll see if I can track something down.
