    Sounds like your internet connection.

    Go to the following page and tell me how long it takes to load the vid.

    Once the buffering bar is full tell me.

    If it takes longer than my time, then you got slower net than me.

    Won't help, if all he's getting is 5kbs something is actually wrong with his connection with the internet.

    Im on mobile broadband and its slow but im getting over 200kbs now downloading a ps1 game.
    It must be you connection, 5kbs is what I used to get 10 years ago on dial up.

    nope, there's no background app that uses connection, just the IDM. do virus do these kind osf thing? coz i cant open my task manager although i have fully scan my comp ( i use avg internet security 9.0 ) and have checked my registry with winASO + RegGenius

    have you tried the other server?

    we only have one server now.

    virii/malware can cause your internet to slow down, usually because they're using your connection to send spam or attack a site. If you have a slow connection like you have its a lot more noticable.

    in this case it could have been IDM for some reason.
