Hi:

I don't think you have a problem.

Remember you can only download at your hosts upload ability. Also a lot of connections are not reported correctly. Look for a Cable/DSL host that is shown in green. That indicates a high probability it is truely a cable or DSL connection. Also, hosts may have several uploads in process at the same time and the bandwidth is being shared or a host may only allow a small portion of bandwidth to uploads. I have DSL and rarely connect over 30 kbs. I also often have up to my set limit of 8 uploads in process at once. That means I only have about 8 kbs available per client. If I am using the internet I am also using bandwidth.

You can verify the bandwidth if you have several downloads in process at the same time. If you have ten consecutive downloads going at 6 kbs you are drawing down 60 kbs.
