hey i restarted my computer, after not rally doing any major changes (disk cleanup, defrag, and removed a few old programs)
now my downloads start out at about 50kb/s (usually 150) and then starts dropping pretty rapidly down to about 10 kb/s...
so it knows that it is still capable of more, it just doesnt stay there....any idea on how to fix this? this is really annoying
