i dled that program, someone mentioned how using adaware and shit takes away registry shit and that restores the orig. keys to the cpu, so i think my tcp/ip winsock was ****ed up the whole time, the net is hauling major ass, as in browsing now, its always DL'ed blazing, score!!

This is what I was going to suggest.

Web browsing is generally a multitude of very short, small transactions, whereas downloading large files is the opposite.

A large file transfer has more time to "train", therefore the speed increases the longer your session is. Web transactions, by their very nature, don't have time to go through that process if the TCP stack is not configured properly.
