What can I do about this? i read the FAQ's and all options are correct.

What is the normal speed on DSL?
Your slow download speeds may be caused by the amount of uploads. How much bandwidth are you devoteing to uploads? And how many uploads do you usually have? In the options menu set your download slots to 0 (it's not very nice, so don't leave it like this) and see how fast you are able download. Good luck.
