    Only from this morning? I had the problem for months .... 3 months to be precise in this year.... started again from yesterday morning
    And my max torrent down speed is around 25 kBps
    yours is definitely a different issue. Most likely the phone lines in your area is bad. I had that issue several years back and canceled my ADSL connection. Bought it again only after they updated the lines here.

    Torrents වැඩ කරන එකයි Direct links slow වෙන එකයි නං ආයෙ අහන්න දෙයක් නෑ කොහොමත් :)

    Do you know why this happens.. ? Last time I observe this situation but not its even more worse. Both torrent and direct Dls are slow now. :(

    Thanks for the comment but, i have full speed for sites with local servers
    ex: facebook, gmail, elakiri is a bit slow but not that bad, launchpad lk server, youtube. I went through this for months so i know exactly where the problem is ..... it's with SLT and ... they did it knowingly ... but past two days i don't know yet what has happened

    change the DNS or use your own DNS server and see if that helps.

    සමහර site වල Pages load වෙන්නෙ නැති හින්ද
    මං උදේ පන්දර නැගිටල browse කරන් වෙලාවල් තියෙනව
    මෙහෙමත් දුකක් :S

    Ex : - BCS site

    The only explanation I can think of is roughly this
    Obviously single connection downloading are slow .
    Ex : - Download a song from RS

    But multi connection downloading are not. thats why torrents are working fine and so do mediafire downloading

    Do this if you wanna check what I am saying

    Find a mediafire song link and try downloading between 10Am-10pm it'll take 10-20 maximum

    Assuming you using IDM Option-> connection -> put connection type like T1
    and adjust default max con no to 16

    and re download it takes even 60 KBps even . At least for me

    When surfing, the DNS servers respond very quickly as normal for ADSL, and ping speed is normal. But they hang up at direct downloads and loading big files / images.

    Down speed from UK is around 10-12 kBps, from colombo SLT server it's 50 kBps and my neighbour receives 98kBps for UK download (he has 1GB free one)

    does the situation change when you use a proxy or a VPN ?

    I have bind and dnsmasq installed, but not activated in fedora ..... don't know how to use them .... if they have a nice gui please post ...
    I'll look at the DNS anyway

    Or give me some usable website for DNS, i only know noip.org but it cannot be used for this, right?

    Wait i'll try foxyproxy with some US address

    dnsmasq will do nicely. Thats what I use on my laptop.
    Enable dnsmaq and change your DNS to localhost so that it'll be used. then in the dnsmasq.conf :
    uncomment :
    no-resolv
    no-poll

    then add the DNS servers with :
    server=8.8.8.8
    server=8.8.4.4

    then save and restart dnsmasq

    I just called SLT Customer service and heres what I got

    They told me that my speed limited coz I exceeded the monthly download volume limit which is 30 GB

    I asked
    Is the meaning of the word "Unlimited" 30 and
    why werent they informed us , upto the point that we get painfully slow connection and have to call customer service

    Then they gave me number of regional manager to resolve the matter with him

    They didnt told me exactly that is FUP or not
    just a limit
