MB means MegaBytes. This should explain it:

FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz size 2066424512 bytes (1.9 G) downloaded with both kernels:

kernel 3.1.10:  saved in 3m 31s 9,32 Megabytes/second - average speed, 11,1 Megabytes/second maximum
kernel 3.2.3: saved in 5m 56s 5,54 Megabytes/second - average speed, 5,64 Megabytes/s - maximum speed

"netstat -s" just after system started and download finished
