How exactly are you downloading files? Are they torrent files or otherwise? the more more info the better please. A 60mb file in over 2-3 hrs suggests to me that your connection speed is low, are you on dial-up? or are you in Australia (like me) and paying top dollar for sub-standard and sub-speed connections? Gawd knows we'll have to wait for connection speeds that rival developing countries. Some countries even offer these kind of services as a freebie to customers, but here, you have to commit yourself to lenghthy and expensive contracts that you don't need or want, just to be on broadband at ridiculously low speeds. Me, I still choose dial-up for the above reasons and am happy to pay little for little speed. I sincerely hope that our new government get off their butts and procure worthwhile coverage at fair prices(another few years apparently). So, besides my little rant, I hope we can help....

EDIT: Typo's.

There are ISP's AND sites that throttle usage speeds when certain limits are reached. Are you sure of either?

OK it could be any number of things:

1. You went over your agreed download limit and now your ISP has capped you (meaning your download speed has been reduced to Dial-Up speeds). Ask your parents what kind of plan you've got and if there is a download limit. If your capped you will probably have to wait until sometime next month to be reset.

2. You just have a slower broadband connection; i.e. 256Kbps, etc.. In that case if there's a lot of traffic or your downloading from a poor server than you could get really slow speeds. It happens.

3. Find out who your ISP is and what kind of plan you have.

Btw, a Wireless Router will not affect your Internet Speed, unless you are on a computer that is connecting to a wireless router to access the Internet, in which case there could be some delay.

Lastly, fix your spelling please. It helps if ppl can understand you.

As Amir89 states again also, do a little background work, and while it would be nice to have correct spelling.. somehow we'll work it out (sooner or later) :P
Howd you go?
