Different download speeds in Ifstat and Chrome

I am downloading a file in Chromium and in parallel running Ifstat (a network-monitoring app). It's the only file I'm downloading.

The two programs show varying different speeds, and never the same, why's that?

1 Answer

One of the things that can cause a discrepancy is the server where the file is hosted. So if the host server is slow then it will take longer to download.
