    Just for kicks I downloaded that file I think from filehippo. It came in at 300k. Don't have a clue what the program does so I deleated it. Lord knows I have enough programs so I was just testing the download speed. Try another source. Some parts of the net have been very slow last couple of days. 2 days ago a speed test showed 500K when it's a normal 5500K. Isp had connection problems. All back to normal. Just tried it again. http://filehippo.com/download_flashget/
    600K less then 5 seconds.

    erm....well it wasn't exactly solved lol! he just gave me a good link to flashget. I tried downloading using flashget but it only manages to max 40kbps. i don't really know the problem. It could just be my luck in downloading from busy servers lol

    hmmm no idea. The only thing i realised was downloading anime from www.anime-eden.com. omg thats slow and pretty impossible for it to finish one episode within a day. Maybe someone can sign up and download and tell me the results. If its fast for them when downloading from a server which isn't busy, then theres definately something wrong with my Internet Downloads. Strange though, my torrent downloads i.e. Recent anime episode, reach 400kbps while uploading :s
