<br>
In a word, compression. Text files will compress sometimes to 30% of <br>
their original size. The transfer rate shown during the transfer is the <br>
actual throughput over the wire, but at the end it calculates the <br>
effective rate, given the uncompressed size of the file.<br>
<br>
If you send an image, you'll get almost zero compression assistance, but <br>
a big text-only file will shrink down a lot.<br>
