608166 2007-11-03 23:36:00 HI there,

I have just recently had this problem my download speeds have been cut down from having about 450kb/s :) with Internet Download Manager to have 100kb/s-50kb/s :horrified I tried using different Download managers flashget etc.. and still the same problem I am using rapidshare,megashares to download files. I have not gone over my bandwidth as I checked im not sure what the problem is any help would be great. My ISP is slingshot and I have a MAX Down/128 kb/s Upload.

Thanks
Kardboard Boxs :)

Have you reset your modem and checked if your plan isn't throttling you because of you breaching your data cap?

How did you measure that speed? Was that with a download manger? & what site where you downloading from? (e.g. was that speed from rapidshare,megashares?)

Have you tried downloading something large from a local server so see if its not International speed problume?

thanks for the replys and yes I have tried reseting my modem,router and hooking up to diff computers,directly hooking up to the computer through the modem but I will try downloading something from a local sever that was the speeds showingn up on internet download manager from megashares and rapidshare but the thing is that when I test my download speed through speedtest.net I get 143ms ping 768kb/s download and 124kb/s upload.

It might just be a problem with megashares,rapidshare.

608172 2007-11-04 01:04:00 if you had max download shouldnt it be faster than 450 kb/s?
i thought it would was 7mb/s and youd get at least 2-3 mb/s
you shouyld check with your isp about their slow speed maybe they have problems currently?

you shouyld check with your isp about their slow speed maybe they have problems currently? um im not sure Ill have to ring them up as in my modem setting is says I have a Downstream of 7635kbps and an Upstream of 188kbps Line Attenuation 17dB but actually downloading is about 450kb/s max using IDM why what speeds do other people have with MAX download plans.

It might just be a problem with megashares,rapidshare.

Probhably being throttled by your ISP.
This morning (Sunday) I got over 100kb/s download off rapidshare (yah)
Then in the afternoon Xtra turned back on the throttling & it went down to
15kbs ie my usual speed for these sites.

I must be getting throttled by my ISP I get usually 450kb/s any time of the day with slingshot from rapidshare or more I just did a test with Slingshot and my download speed is 2455kbps or 245KB/s just downloaded a file from slingshot.co.nz and it was going 255KB/s without the IDM and then with IDM 45Kb/s im going to reinstall IDM and try again.
