20 minutes to download 100MB file?

When I test my internet connection, using the FIOS speed test, my results are about 55Mbps download.

 

If my math is correct, it should take me about 17 seconds to download a 100MB file.

 

Math: assuming 1byte = 8 bits means 50Mbps = 6.25 MB/s

 

However, I bought a software application from Amazon, which was listed to have a file size of 106MB.  I downloaded the program to install and it took about 20 minutes to download!

 

So, either my math is wrong or the FIOS speed test is incorrect.  Why would the download have taken so long?  Do I have a problem with my connection/router?  Can someone help me understand what is happening?

 

Thanks.
