Download any one.
Magnetmix is a site with free, legal downloads...it's a bit of a test really, those files should download quite quickly (I just got 114 KB/s). If files from magnetmix download really slowly, it can point to an ISP problem.

Who is your ISP?
What's the brand & model of your router?

I think Rogers is your problem but why you can download fine on one computer & not another I wouldn't know! I'd expect you to be shaped on both

Check these out

You could try changing ports. In LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to one between 49152 - 65535, or try port 80. If you've allowed a specific port number thru a software firewall that will have to be the same as LW's listening port.

There's no guarantee that this will work, but it's something to try.
