Are you talking about torrents or the problem is in General?

In general, I just noticed this downloading from the microsoft site and rapidshare .

Do you use any accelerator like flashget?
Try that one if you don't. It should max out your speed.

I'll try that, but I shouldnt have to use this stuff to get the speed I was getting before :blink:

Edit: Im still getting the same speed with flashget. it maxes out at 100kbps if im lucky..

Scan your PC for spywares/adwares/viruses. Sometimes such things slow down your connection.
If there is nothing then try to conduct with your ISP.

I've been fighting with my isp for the past 6 months on this same issue. For 4 years I never had any problems what so ever, downloaded everything at a rock solid 300KBPS. For the past 6 months I'll be lucky to get 80. It would ping at 80 so I called my isp and they said "oops some settings got changed let me fix it" well for 1 week it went back to 300, download a dvdr and bam back to 80. I am getting cable installed on monday so hopefully I won't have to deal with this anymore.

just turn of your Modem for some time(about 30 minutes) to make the modem get frozen :] and maybe scan you computer for Spywares and Malwases.
