For example.. here what I got:
time curl http://lacasa.uah.edu/portal/tmp/bzip2.cfd/Chrome_18.0.1025308.9.tar.bz | bzip2 -d > /dev/null
Average Dload is 261k
time curl http://lacasa.uah.edu/portal/tmp/bzip2.cfd/Chrome_18.0.1025308.9.tar.bz > new.tar.bz
Average Dload 2000k
....
Using wget
wget http://lacasa.uah.edu/portal/tmp/bzip2.cfd/Chrome_18.0.1025308.9.tar.bz
Average Dload 2000k
Does the Average Dload speed in first case calculated by taking the actual time it takes to execute the entire line? or only for performing download.
