What download speed are you talking about? I compared downloading a 25M file from http://ftp.fr.debian.org/ with synapse and wget and both download at around 2.9MB/s. This is the max speed of my WAN connection. Wget uses slightly more CPU (saving the file?) but cpu isn't the bottleneck neither. As Michael said, synapse loads everything in memory. The stream data grows with small increments but AFAIK tmemorystream is optimized to not resize in small chunks which would slow down a lot. The web site you're downloading from isn't doing any bandwith throttling depending on the UserAgent?
