Im downloading a mod, but the download speed says 992 KB/s at most. Is it not supposed to go beyond this, or am I still reaching over 1MB, but it's just saying 992?

1000 K (K for 1000)= 1000x1000 =1 M (M for Million) (metric system FYI), your getting 99.2% of the 1MB "cap'ed" speed. Taking into account possible control bits, the fact the computers are binary math systems (see Below further explanation) and/or throttling threshold, In short, your getting what you should get :)

Further Explanation:
I left the KB/s out of the explanation above because it really does not matter but FYI technically 1KB/s is actually 1024B/s :) For a reference see following: https://pc.net/helpcenter/answers/why_1024_bytes

> "but FYI technically 1KB/s is actually 1024B/s"

That's actually wrong, K (kilo) is a SI prefix meaning 1000, so 1KB is 1000B, but Ki (kibi) is a binary prefix, meaning 2^10 = 1024, so 1KiB is 1024B.

[Ad wouldn't let me click on certain things on page.]

Using Firefox and the new layout, it does cover the background, however it doesn't prevent me from clicking anything. Still really annoying though.
