You can do a speed test & if your speed is measured in kb/s, divide by 8 to get KB/s (which is how you'll see download speed measured in LW)

This thread has info about how to best set up your LW, once you know your speed
Configuring LW for best performance

If those magnet link files downloaded at 2kb/s (maybe you mean KB/s), something's wrong somewhere. Those should download quickly. Follow the connection problems link in LOTR's post & give us your details (you'll see the info we need)...might be interesting to see who your ISP is! Have you used other p2p apps & if so, did you get the same slow download speeds?

How many green connection bars do you have & do you see the firewall icon (brick wall)?
