To confirm this, I ran:

 wget http://bazaar.launchpad.net/...

vs

 wget $URL & wget $URL

vs

 wget $URL & wget $URL & wget $URL

(basically, changing from 1 connection downloading, up to 3 concurrent
downloads of the same content.)

And I definitely see the difference in the connection. (I captured some
graphs.)

I definitely get more thorough utilization with multiple streams.

What is really strange, though, is that if I go to Vincent's machine, I
get:

  2010-06-25 15:45:56 (1.50 MB/s) ...

On the exact same file.

Is it possible that someone outside of Launchpad is doing the bandwidth
capping?

(Note that my max bandwidth is about 300kB/s, so I won't see anything
above what Martin posted as a single-connection limit.)
