You're including all the Windows and program overhead in your timing.
It takes time for Windows to load and close your FTP program, and a
significant amount of time for your FTP program to look up and connect
to the remote server, negotiate with the remote server to open the file
and then save the downloaded file on your PC at the end.
I suppose you could try to swamp the overhead by downloading a very
large file, but the overhead will still be there.

pointless to do any "testing" because all testing is moot. If you
REALLY want to know what your Hardware NEGOTIATED Line rate is, then
let your Hardware tell you what speed it obtained.
Testing can be useful if you have reason to think that something funny
is going on upstream.
My router usually trains up at 6592/896 Kbps and I usually get 5Mbps
downloads from close-in, capable sites.
When things seemed to go sour a few months ago, I was able to use test
results to first convince myself that something was going on and to get
The Phone Company and my ISP to look into things.
Unbelievable as it seems, The Phone Company actually admitted that
they'd over-committed the DSLAM at the local central office, and my ISP
did some load balancing on their circuits and things have been fine
since then.
