Around 0.2 kb/s when i m downloading firefox installer.. but when i browse the internet, its fast.. just the download is slow. I tried using my old VAIO and its downloading at 180kb/s.. what's the problem here?

Just tried it again just now, it's downloading at 120 kb/s instead of my usual speed of 180-200kb/s.. Tried downloading other stuff also same. Seems like my download speed has been cut down by 1/3 using the MBP Any idea how to revamp it?

On my way Senior Member 557 posts Joined: Oct 2008	guys, is it normal when it gets kinda hot at the speakers part, especially the left side where the charging slot is located? I'm not even running multiple applications, just watching movies on megaupload. I'm using MBP 15". Any ways to reduce the heat generated?
