Answer 1

it sounds like your ISP is doing a FAP (fair access Policy) so you would need to check this out with them.

A FAP is where your only allowed to download so many megabytes a day.. like I am on 200 meg a day.. after that the download speed drops to nothing.

if I download 200 meg in a day then I have to wait 24 hours before it gets back up to speed..
tough I know but there is nothing you can do about it...

so get on to your ISP and find out if they are using the fair access policy

Answer 2

is it like this for all files you attempt to download? if it's just that particular file it could be that all seeds have the majority of the file and are missing segments and you're relying on the original uploader for the remainder of the file. the speed will vary on their upstream and how many people are connected to them.

Answer 3

Along with the above thoughts:

You should also run a virus check to make sure a new virus isn't tying up your band width.

Answer 4

Try to reset your modem, just unplug it for a minute and plug it back it...see if that helps. Try to clean out your cookies as well as your other temporary internet files.

that may help

Answer 5

check with your provider first. could be on their end.
or the "throttled" (capped) you if you have cable internet
