Well I finally got full download speed after uninstalling Zone alarm. Thanks for the tip. I only had it configured to check on programs trying to access the 'net as I have a hardware firewall in the router. Do you think it would br worth firing up windows firewall to keep an eye on programs accessing the 'net?

1st 512K took 1094 ms = 468 KB/sec, approx 3856 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1109 ms = 461.7 KB/sec, approx 3804 Kbps, 3.71 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1063 ms = 481.7 KB/sec, approx 3969 Kbps, 3.88 Mbps
4th 512K took 1078 ms = 475 KB/sec, approx 3914 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3886 Kbps, 3.8 Mbps
