"On-The-Fly" Download/Convert feature really slow

Is it me or is the whole "On-The-Fly" Download/Convert feature really slow?

My system monitor is telling me that the file is downloading at 30kb/s, while if I download the same file to the desktop, it downloads at 160kb/s.

Should it be faster? or am I missing something here?

Unlike multipart downloading, transcoding from network only allows single thread.

that makes sense. Could it download the same way as Flashget?

Unfortunately no.
You must know the meaning of on-the-fly. The stream is not saved on your local disk. So there is no way to do multi-part download.
