Note that your screenshot displays bytes, not bits.  So it will display 
one-eighth the download speed measured in bits.

Check the TCP tuning on the downloading PC.  The fact that multiple 
windows achieve a higher aggregate speed points to this.  Use the Google 
link I supplied earlier, also search "Bandwidth-delay product".  Are 
both ends of the link a substantial geographic distance (several miles) 
apart?

Note that the adjustments for TCP tuning are to the TCP stack on the 
machine doing the download, not the network gear.
