Hi PK26,
You can do a speed test here:

If you're worried, ask your ISP what kind of dld/uld speeds you should be getting with your connection.
The kind of dld speeds you get with LW will vary depending on how many hosts you're dlding from, the quality of their connection etc etc. This sticky has lost of info & tips for maximising your dld/uld success:

(I've got a 256K ADSL & if I'm dlding from 10 hosts I can get between 28-30 KB/s. If there's only one host I'll get maybe 7-10 KB/s)
