Well, I have the most recent version of java (1.5.0_06), and I now have LW 4.12.6, and it's still slow (3-7KB/s). By a different connection, I mean that my roomate is connected through his wireless router, which is connected to a different jack than mine is. Even when I use that wireless on my computer, it still downloads slow. I have McAffe Personal firewall plus, but LW is allowed full access. When I downloaded LW today, it went at speeds of up to 125KB/s on Internet Explorer.
