Obviously the above problems cannot be cured by anything you can do simply because they are outside of your control.
However, I would suggest you try TweakMaster, it may help with some of your connection/speed problems.
It is available here: TweakMASTER - The Supreme Internet Optimizer

Thanks a lot for trying to help me Bob, I really appreciate it. I had alread installed and used "Connection booster" without much result. I'll try tweaking around with the master, see if it changes.
Here is how LW Pro behavior now: downloads files at 10kb/s maximum for a while, then all of a sudden drops all downloads to 0kb/s and stays there for 15/30 secs, then downloads speeds shoot up again at 80kb/s max but just for a few seconds, then are brought back down to 10kb/s max. And it does this in a cycle. It's really depressing, and I have no idea what to do to improve this.
As a side note, has my computer (Portable PB Pentium 4, 3ghz processing speed and 80gb hard drive space) been getting slow and often stuck with blue screens since I have resumed my downloading activities!...
