Its nothing to do with your comp, the ISP traffic etc too are factors in speed changes. Like I used to get 12 KB up and 30 Down before, now I get 30 down but up's been reduced to 7. Also maybe the server you're downloading from is slow and has a limit per file?

nope ul speed can be greater thn down speed if isp has not put a cap on ul speed.
i have MTNL braodband and get ul speeds upto 35kBps which is greater thn my gen dwnld speed ie. 31kBps.

the bitter fact is that airtel gives speed in pools. so U may get good speeds at a particular time and bad at other.
