No, that's not normal. Some satellite is slow when it has a lot of back and forth "chatter" between the computer and the remote host, because it takes a while for the signal to get up and back down. But for a download like you describe, the computer basically listens to a stream of data coming down initiated by the one request for the file. So at that point, you should see speeds comparable to DSL (depending on the flavor he purchased). Not too familiar with Mac OS, but on a PC, some antivirus and/or antispyware and/or firewalls can drastically slow down download speeds. I agree on getting with the satellite folks for a diagnostic session. Or take a laptop or something over and try it on another machine and see if you can narrow it down to satellite link or PC. HH
