Your node just might be bogged down. Is it a crappy day outside? Everybody in your neighborhood might be inside surfing today.

what program/what are you downloading where you see the transfer rates? I'm asking b/c if you're using kazaa, it's strictly user based. If you have a slow user, obviously, you're not going to be able to get 150kb/s out of them. If you're downloading persay from a Microsoft server where you normally get 300kb/s and now you're getting 30 kb/s, it could have something to do with the time of day and the server getting hammered. There are a lot of variables that you've left out.
