Nothing unusual I can find with that modem. Thinking about it you might have spyware/adware that's slowing the speed down

the main reason why bit torrent isn't always as quick as downloading from a website is because you are downloading parts from other people and not a dedicated webserver, but you are also constantly uploading to other people so there is more traffic plus it depends on how many sources have the full file. if only a few people have the full file it means the speed will slowly decrease as you get near the end of your download.
i think :-))(
i've read that back and it makes no sense! i'm going to bed will try and re-write in the morning!

It makes sense, but magic's downloads seem to be slow all the time (for his bandwidth)

p.s. these remastered deluxe versions of Faith/Pornography/Seventeen Seconds are ace. A Forest sounds about ten times better.
