Is your friend on the same isp? If not, there are a lot of variables at play, I think. For awhile I was using a cable ISP and DSL line (two different ISP's) and found big differences in download speeds, even tho I was in the same physical location and using two different computers downloading the same files.
Also, at that time the dsl isp capped u/l at 16 kb/s and the cable cap was 45 kb/s. I didn't keep the dsl, but now the cable is capped at 16 kb/s.
I don't think the port nr. has anything to do with speed. When I put up my ftp now, I avoid using port 21 since that is a normally monitored port by isp's, at least for statistical reasons.
