However, I've a suspicion your problem is your ISP. Can you tell us who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?

Try an experiment, downld a magnet link file from here & tell us what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

And do a speed test whilst LW is closed here http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ (choose nearest location)
My internet service provider is talktalk.net, they're a fairly well established provider in the UK. The magnet link file reached about 20KB/sec after a couple of minutes which is a hell of a lot higher than anything i've got for the last few months.

Here are my speed test results:

Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 918 Kbps (114.8 KB/sec) 991 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 228 Kbps (28.5 KB/sec) 246 Kbps (inc. overheads)

I hope this helps you a bit, and i will keep trying other tips from your first link.

Thanks,
Ben
