This is probably not at your end because I guess if it was someone would be asking questions long before me, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any theories about why my download speed has dropped by about 80% since yesterday. The problem is a bit complicated so please bear with me. My normal download speed is around 174 KB/sec. However, currently I am downloading Ainslee's IM at only 31KB/sec. My service provider says I have a 1500 kbps connection. My little connection icom says it's running at 54 Mbps.
For several months I have been using Leechget and, with it, I noticed at the start that downloading zipped packages of stills was slightly problematic. If I checked lots of images on page 1, it took several minutes for the download screen to appear. After page one, that didn't happen anymore - the download screen appeared quickly. I got round this by downloading only one image first. With only one image, the download screen appeared quickly and then I could check the rest of the images on page one and have no problem through to the end of that series. Videos didn't have this problem - they always dowloaded immediately.
A couple of days ago, I noticed that this no longer worked. With every page, suddenly it took several minutes for the download page to appear. The movies still downloaded normally. When this problem didn't clear up, I thought it was perhaps the download manager at fault so, yesterday, I uninstalled it. Now all downloads - stills and videos - are happening at 30 - 34 KB/sec. This is down from 174 KB/sec of a couple of days ago.
Does anyone have any suggestion of what might be wrong? I have checked to see I'm not over my download limit. Best wishes Helier
