    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

    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.
