Downld a magnet link from here & see what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

Is there anything else that's changed about your computer. Did you do a system update, update patches, etc.? Change any settings anywhere? Which version of LW did you have before you updated your LW?

No nothings changed.

I uninstalled and went back to basic version but now thats bad also

I did a speed test on a link i found somewhere on these forums and it was like 4080 kbps or something, which means i shud be on t3 or higher right?

wen something actually gets going it varies form about 1-20 kb a sec but normally only one thing will d/l at a time the rest just stall on ocnnecting....
