Hi:

I am using Windows XP with a pentium 5 dual core and 1 gig of ram. I use Firefox browser on Chebucto plus.

I have not been active for most of the winter but I have started using the computer for the last month or so and I have noticed a problem that I have not seen before. When I do a download , the download speed fluctuates a great deal , dropping to 1.5 k sometimes and peaking to about 4.8 k. In the past , the download speed always stayed steady at around 4.8 k. It has gotten so bad that most downloads I try to do with Firefox are cutting off and are not recoverable. I have now resorted to using GetRight to be able to resume downloads.

Can you check into this please. I am sure my computer is not the problem as I have Norton Ghost and have restored a previous setup with no difference.

Thanks ........... JMK
