Even though I have a 500KB/sec connection, whenever I download something, the speed starts at 500 kb/sec but immediately starts to decline, sometime reaching a paltry 3 kb/sec. Why is that?

Download slows down because the server you are using is busy or just slow try another site.

I agree with Roland. These days, the most common reason for a sudden drop in bandwidth is malware infection. You might be a victim of virsus, worm, spyware and/or Trojan Horses. If you have any antivirus and anti spyware programs installed then now would be a good time to scan your computer. If you don't, you should seriously consider installing one. The website www.filehippo.com has a good selection of free security software - look under antivirus and spyware.

u r connection normally slows during connectivity downloading. mine has 752kb/sec but during downloading it goes to atleat 60kb/sec. or some kind of trojan must have taken over u r connectivity spped.
