dc.descriptionThe scaling behavior of fluctuation for a download network which we have investigated a few years ago based upon Zhang's Encophysics web page has been presented. A power law scaling, namely $σ\sim < f> ^ α$ exists between the dispersion $σ$ and average flux $<f>$ of the download rates. The fluctuation exponent $α$ is neither 1/2 nor 1 which was claimed as two universal fluctuation classes in previous publication, instead it varies from 1/2 to 1 with the time window in which the download data were accumulated. The crossover behavior of fluctuation exponents can be qualitatively understood by the external driving fluctuation model for a small-size system or a network traffic model which suggests congestion as the origin.
