Hi

I recently upgraded my connection to a 512 kbs DSL. Now anything I try to download shows 0 kbs or Waiting on busy hosts or More Sources Needed. If I'm lucky, I'll see 1 kbs for a while.

It doesn't matter what type of file I try to download.

I re-installed LW 4.9.37 accepting all the defaults and making sure my Speed setting showed "Cable/DSL". I tried re-setting it to "Modem" but this didn't help. I have Windows Firewall off.

When I was using my old 56k modem, I used to get around 5 kbs at least. I've played with all the settings in LW but can't seem to improve it. If anyone sends me files via email, these seems to download reasonably fast. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
