    It took me 20 minutes to download something that is 1.2MB..
    I don't want to download files with an average speed of 2kb/sec...
    Any good download managers? Suggestions?
    The problem just occured this morning... I've never had such slow speeds. I though 150kb/sec
    was bad.. now this. Though I can upload and browse the internet no problem.....

    Try 'Flashget' (google it). I used it for larger files.

    It's the server you're downloading from, most likely. It may be halfway around the world.

    I don't think it's the server... I downloaded from same server yesterday and the speeds were about 130kb/sac

    Maybe the links on the site go to various servers. If you're using cable, maybe many people are using the internet at the same time. Go take a speed test, and post the results here.

    You sure?? It's one of those nasty sites... Many ads and possibly spyware.. lol. I'll take my chances just to find roms... I don't think I'm allowed to post anyway.

    Not another ROM site no, the speed you get from a site can vary great, I used to vary between 20kb/s and 1mb/s with our old download server, there are loads of factors beyond just you and the server too, the number of over all internet usage often play in as well.

    That happens to me once in a while,and sometimes just plain all the time. :-\

    DAP is a good download manager that accelerates the download.Maybe to around 29 k/b or so.
