Hello, as in the topic title and description I found out that IE 7, Firefox, Down Them All (a Firefox extension), Free Download Manager and so on do not detect the right download rate. How do I know that? Because if you go into the resource panel that you access by the task manager then you will see your real download rate. In my case 5 Mb/s. So, I downloaded netlimiter2 pro and I gave it a shot. Well, this does detect my download rate properly. I guess that many people experiencing the slow download rate issue could be affected by the same bug. So, I hope that someone now will try to figure out with me what's wrong and if there's a "home made patch" or a register key to modify to solve the issue. Thank you very much for help. Cheers, Davide
