Again, slowest speed is what you'll get..
You might have a 30Mb internet connection but that doesn;t mean that all the servers connected to the internet are at the same speed.. The server you're downloading the audio book from probably throttles each donload at 200k, which means that many people can download without effecting the server.
The only ways of testing you full speeds is either by a reliable and close speedtest, newsgroups or finding a downloads/servers that are good speed which you can do more than one at the same time and add the speeds together.
In very simple terms if the internet was a selection of pipes carrying water different servers will have different size pipes which means that some will be slow and some will be fast but never faster than your own pipe to the internet.
