I think you mean 6.1 MB/sec. It's impossible to get 61Mbps from a 50 meg cable line; it's hard capped at 53Mbps (so just over 50 megs after overheads).

I frequently only get 35mb/s on speedtest.net, but if i download from newsgroups I get close to 49mb/s. So I wouldn't rely on speedtest.net for an accurate speed.

It's because your only downloading a single unit at a time. Usenet downloads work differently. You can download, say, 50 little units at a time and this gets you a higher overall speed :-)
