hi thanks to this site i recently downloaded grabit and am downloading off my

can be different things.
check your pc for spy/add-ware. do you also download other stuff @ the same time?
do you also have this when you download a large file with for example IE or firefox?
what ISP do you have? maybe your ISP server is shit :P

There should not be any difference in downloading from different groups. it possible if you download older files (8 days or older) that some servers become slower/spikes.
