Insanely Slow Downloads?

[KentyMac]

I was trying to download a clip or two by Joss Stone to see if I liked the album enough to buy, but for some reason the files will only download at insanely slow speeds (< 0.1 Kb/sec). Everything else downloads quickly (> 100 Kb/sec) except these mp3s. Other audios files are also fine, it just seems to be something about these particular mp3s. When the files come up under search it might show 40+ users with an estimated download time of a few seconds, yet it&#39;s actuallly very, very slow. I don&#39;t understand why only these particular files are so slow. Does anyone have an idea?

(I&#39;ve tried this on two different computers and connections, DSL vs cable, with the same results.)

Thanks for any help&#33;

i have that problem sometimes 2 and i have DSL if i download a song 4rm 2 people or more it downloads like less than 3 minutes and if i download 4rm 1 person it goes at the speed of Dial Up

and when u download u want 2 look at the "BANDWIDTH" the highest it gets is 3906

[h121589]

u want 2 download something with high BANDWIDTH because higher it is the faster the file downloads
