Speeds are generally due to the hosts you're downloading from. So this speed can vary. Sometimes one of the faster hosts you're downlding from might have shared with a few more people so their bandwidth available to you is less.

But the problem might also be ISP related. Try an experiment with downloading a magnet link from here & see if it's consistent speeds: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

It's from a site so speed should be very fast & consistent. If not, particularly if it starts off fast but then drops to very, very low, then your ISP is shaping you (filtering your speeds whilst you're using LW.)

I didn't see your last post when I posted. You could try closing & re-opening LW to see if you have same problems.

Are you using DSL or ADSL? ie: are your download speeds affected by your upload speeds? If yes then it's DSL. If not, then it's ADSL. eg: dial up modem users are DSL so to speak. But some high speed plans are also DSL.

ive been online for a while but i have only started downloading stuff recently so im pretty green,
the stuff you said makes no sense to me..lol

but ill try and do as you said mate..but now you mention it my ip has been giving me crap info..if i check my speed on there site its good..but on any other site it terrible.

filtering your speeds whilst you're using LW.) what does that mean mate??
