Hi John,
I just downloaded Thunderbird v11.1.0 (for Windows XP/Vista/7) just
yesterday, for a friend, and my speeds held at 4.7 (occasionaly moving
between 4.6-4.8). I had a similar experience several months ago, like you
describe, and replaced the modem, evidentally fixing the problem. Like
you, I hadn't used that particular computer for awhile and figured it was
just dust. Even after thoroughly cleaning it, it still didn't function
properly. Once I replaced it, all seemed well again.
Just a suggestion to try. I volunteer from home so my download setup
and connection would be no different from yours. I was using a Pentium 2
with W98SE.

When I do a download , the download speed fluctuates a great deal , dropping to 1.5 k sometimes and peaking to about 4.8 k. In the past , the download speed always stayed steady at around 4.8 k. It has gotten so bad that most downloads I try to do with Firefox are cutting off and are not recoverable. I have now resorted to using GetRight to be able to resume downloads.
