it's doing it again i know the 0 Kb/s is correct because the partially downloaded files aren't being modified.

as i say it started working a little while ago -- things were dl'ing but not now again.

any ideas what this could be?

oh yeah, and while nothing is able to download, things are able to upload from lw (as they are now as i type -- 4 uploads at the moment which are moving -- not 0 KB/s). also while nothing in lw is able to dl other internet apps work ok.
