Maybe you're being hit by BT's FUP (see link below). Also check out point B (Network Management) in that link.
BT Total Broadband Fair Usage Policy | Help | BT.com

Try downloading outside of BT's peak hours & see whether speeds improve.

Click on Audio category, to the left of search results. Now right click on the column header & tick 'size'... you'll be able to see file size in search results
