It may just be your sources you're downlding from. There's always days when speeds aren't what they usually are.

Try downlding a magnet link from here & see what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

(I'm not an expert so if you'd prefer to wait for one ...)

Thank you for your response

I downloaded from the site you suggested and yes I got speeds of up to 70 but averaging about 50 - aaah it felt good

Will keep trying and let you know if speed improves in the next few days .....
