iv got the same problem, it doesent matter what i download, the speeds all start up at v good for me prahaps 50-70Kbs somtimes iv even got over 160Kbs but after about 30 mins they have all slowly and stedaly dropped down to 1-2Kbs and never recouver

i dont use a firewall and i know that the SP2 xp firewall is definatly switched off so please dont start on about doing this and that 2 my firewall settings and anyhow it cant realy be anything to do with firewall type problems as they start out with a realy good speed which they wouldent if there was that kind of problem.

i have found that if i log out and shut down AOL, wait 4 a bit then relog and rerun LW i get the speed back again 4 a while but not 4 long!

Can anyone please help its realy anouying and im not guna buy the pro version untill i know that its not guna do this as well.

Thx all Greg.
