I've got the link open & will take a closer look in a minute. But 1st, remember that ISP's quote internet speeds in bps (bits per second) whereas LW quotes speeds in KB/S which is (bytes per second.) Multiply 60 KB/s x 8 & it will give you bps. To be sure of your speed, without LW open do a speed test; Choose nearest location for a speed test & only have your browser open: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/. (BTW 60 KB/s is still very good as downld speeds generally depend upon your sources & what speeds they are offering or have available.)

Speeds offered by ISP's usually lose speed depending on distance from supplier/telephone exchange, & also in-house overheads such as router/modem. Normally a 15-25% overhead loss is expected.

Also download a magnet link from the following link & tell us what happens re: connecting & speed: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
