Download speed

[tombrandy]

Hi,I can be on my computer for hours and download at aprox 540-600kb/sec
but if i stop for about half an hour while i have tea etc when i go back my download speed goes down to 90kb/sec,so i switch off boot it back up and its o.k. again, any ideas,
thanks

nice one k j s

have you anything like limewire, kazza etc etc installed that could be hogging bandwidth

[tombrandy]

no limewire or kazza.

it could be something to do with your ISP trying to limit you bandwidth usage ?

I'm just thinking of when I used to live in Italy and connect with my cell phone as that was the only way as soon as i tried to download i would get cut off luckily its not so drastic in the UK

many thanks Thunderchild, i will get on to them,
