No, I'm not using a modem, I have a T1 connection (yay college), but I guess if I assume that the person I'm downloading from has a modem that would explain it. Also, on Scour (the program I had before this one) the connection speed was given in 24, 56, cable, DSL, T1, T3, etc., whereas newtella says things like 350, 1000, and 3000. not to sound overly ditsy, but what do those numbers mean in relation to cable, DSL, etc?

How much time did you give it... if for example you downloaded a 4mb song... that's about 4,000,000 bytes or about 32,000,000 bits of information... 1% of which is 320k bits if your on a modem, you probably only download between 2-5 kbps or 2k-5k bits per second... meaning you would have to wait almost two minutes for one percent to pass.
Hope that helps!
And all you critics out there... I know my math is off... but trust me it's accurate enough to make my point!</font>
