What are you downloading from? Your router firewall restriction could be too high or the site you are downloading from may be the reason. Is it *cough* P2P or torrents?

Yeah, 4MB internet won't download 4MB/s on P2P

It will also slow down your internet while you download (not that I download P2P :D )

Download.com is heavily used which could account for slow downloads. Why would you download an anti-virus program through them?

They have been known to have overloaded servers and I don't know if it's still true, but they used to be known for attaching malware to thier programs. Just go to the originators site.

Have either of you contacted your ISP to see if there is a problem at their end? Are your firewalls configured correctly? Have you tried unplugging the power to your routers and or modems to recycle them?

Yes, comcast came out a couple weeks ago and said everything was fine, i disable my firewall and same problem, yes i have restarted both router and modem....any other ideas?

Maybe try connecting to the net w/o the router. I once had that problem and took the router out and my connection was fine. Couble be the router.
