I've monitored it a bit, and it doesn't seem to be systematic. It'll be running fine for 1 minute one time, then drop the bps for a couple seconds, then back up... Or it might stay in the really low numbers the whole time. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't have anything running while it is, don't have any security, nor a firewall, or anything... It's just straight up. I wondered if it might have something to do with internet updates as I haven't yet been able to perform any since my system is 'invalid'. Could that affect it at all? I'm just trying to think of what I changed when I formatted.
