There is something very strange going on with your internet connection. Even a guest member gets 64kb/s. 10kb/s is slower than a modem.

As a rule members living in the US will have the fastest speeds because they are the closest. European and Asian members get fairly good speeds as well.

I think you need to check your ADSL connection.

The problem right now is most likely because the server is at the busy time of the day on the very busy day of the week. Keep checking your speeds and they should come up to a good level. Also try hitting the server at a different time. For the past few days the server has been very very busy with a lot of new members joining. I do not suspect that there is anything wrong at your end.

Where are you located because the server is in Florida, USA. Do you have ANY other bandwidth consuming application open at the moment (such as frostwire/limewire, iTunes, Zune software, any torrent software)?
There are multiple reasons as to why your download could be slower than it should be. I'm an unlimited member (alongside Global Moderator) and I get around 300 kb/s and I live in Michigan, USA. I'm around 15 hours from the server (car trip) and these are the speeds I get with no other bandwidth consuming application open. Sometimes I've even recorded speeds as slow as 80 kb/s, and again, I'm in Michigan, USA when the server is in Florida, USA.

I do not think there is anything wrong with the connection to the server, but you could be trying to access the server when it's under heavy load, and you could live halfway across the world, which may result in really horrid speeds. As HT said, try again another time/day and see if your speed holds. Also try going to SpeedTest.net and check your speed/connection to the server in Miami, FL of the USA. If you get bad results there, then it may just be because of the distance you are from the server or even possibly the quality of your line. Let us know so we can help diagnose your connection issues. Thanks! :hi:

Also do a host trace from this website Host Trace to our Home Page and tell us how many steps it takes for you to get to our home page. Thanks for this too! :D
