Also, if you have any plug in ethernet cards, just try another card. It's possible that drivers aren't the problem, and simply a defective onboard NIC. And to be quite honest, if it makes you feel any better, my download speeds from the redirect within the game do the same thing from time to time, and right now is one of those times for me. I usually can download through the game at well over 1mb, but the last few days, I can not get any better then 150kb, and it's not a problem on my end. Next time I have to download it may be well over 1mb again. It's the same for all computers I use. Just throwin out some more possibilities.
