I'm back to the file transfer grind stone once again.
Since some have been following this issue, I've tracked down some other information that gives a clearer picture of Windows 7 rwin and heuristics issues along with firefox browser issues.
The following tests will verify if you have an issue with http & or file transfer speed.

A quick test to see if you are running into the problem: Open one browser window and download a large file (test file) from a known fast location. Note this result as 'speed1'. Now open two browser windows and start the same download at the same time in each browser Window. Note this result as 'speed2'. If 'speed2' is faster than 2 × 'speed1', then then your computer may have this problem.
That would explain 2 downloads or uploads being much, much faster than 1 individual download or upload.
ie. I can upload or download 2 files at the same time @ faster speeds than I can a single file. It seems windows 7 (or something) is only throttling each individual file and not sum of many files at the same time. The idea of 2 files uploading or downloading at faster individual speeds than 1 file boggles my mind.
Yes, I have this problem.
The next issue is the FireFox browser.
There are 2 locations I've found that deal with a firefox browser issue.
The first:
Increasing the speed of firefox browser:
http://www.improgrammer.net/speed-up-firefox-browser/
The second:
http://www.mymobotips.com/2015/03/ultimate-guide-to-speed-up-mozilla-firefox-browsing/
It would seem that the second site above makes smaller changes to fiirefox. I've tried both and they seem to be equal in increasing browsing speed. The results have been more than double but I've not put it all together yet to see the effect on ftp or http file transfer.
Unfortunately I can only work on this when I have ample time. (not at the moment)
Thanks for the browser tip j7n, if nothing else firefox is now ludicrous speed.
