Very strange thing here.

If I have less than 10 connections (normally Cool, then the client syncs the blocks really slowly. As soon as I get 10 or more, it starts syncing really quickly again.

I'm assuming this is normal?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

not really

i use  listen=0, connect=xx.xx.xx.xx, maxconnections=1 when i'm downloading blockchain

if you don't control which nodes you connect to, it should be random, whether you have 8 connections or 200
