What bitrate does your web browser report when downloading a file, and what did you expect it to be? (Look in the download window, it should say something like xx KB/s.)

I just downloaded a file that was 13 mb which took 24 minutes. Prior to my upgrading to 10.4.10, it would have done that same size in approx 4 - 6 minutes.

Can you please open Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities), and enter the following at the command prompt, hitting return/enter to execute:
Replace http://website.com/your-file-to-download with a direct link to a file that you wish to download. After hitting 'return', you should see something like the following appear:
What's your average download speed (Average Dload)? Is it any faster than before?
