How far you are from the local node for your internet company and how many other people are on the line also can make a difference how fast or slow things download. Also if you have other things going on in your browser I'd guess it could slow things down. Of course how fragmented your system is might also play into that as everything slows down the more fragmented your hard drive is. I ended up going to cable internet due to my DSL slowing down (and having frequent drops).
