server you are downloading from might be slow. Try IDM

JDownloader downloads from websites such as Rapidshare, Megaupload etc. Such sites throttle down speeds for free users. It is not JD's fault. Try a Mediafire.com link & see what the speed is.

If you still have problems, post your queries at the official JD forum *board.jdownloader.org

IMHO, You're getting the correct speeds as:

210kbps = 210 kilobits per second
= 210/8 kilobytes per second
= 26.25 kilobytes per second

or the server may have poor upload as well

2mbps = 2048kbps = 256kB/s.

You can't solve this problem. It totally depends on BSNL. Just hope it gets fixed soon. Try checking the speed while downloading torrents.

I get 200-220 kbps on torrent in Xp via Flashget and in Ubuntu via Qbittorrent or Transmission, i get 190kbps max. Any specific reason ? May be Flashget is showing fake speeds ?
I have tested it with same torrent (openSUSE 11.2 DVD i586.ISO.torrent) at almost same time (consider the time b/w both downloads was 5 mins, reboot and scheduling)

have you tried an alternative to jdownloader? I personally use cryptload.

Also its possible that sites like rapidshare impose a speed limit on free users. i think for rapidshare it was 50 KB/sec
