Well one thing i have noticed when i download patches it that my Internet speed is always very slow 75-100kb/s max. However when i get in multiplayer games i have no Internet connection problems whatsoever and my ping is low. What could be causing this?
Multiplayer games don't use much bandwidth really, It's the latency that's important.

Your network card could be bottle necking your connection. in other words your card cant handle that much bandwidth.

It just sounds like the site you're trying to download from is either just slow or it has a download cap. Try downloading something from the Microsoft or Nvidia site, I know those will max your download speeds. You could also call up your ISP and see if its anything on their end.
Well the problem i have most of the time is i use a browser to download files and if i exit i cannot resume so i have to stay and wait or find a way to get it in torrent such as how project reality has their files available in a torrent.
