Is your name server setup correct?
check /etc/resolv.conf and use nslookup to check if everything is
correct. Be sure that the first name server in /etc/resolv.conf
is responding fast.

try something like this while downloading at full rate:
netstat -I $external_iface -w 1
(hint: If you use ppp(8) external_iface will be a tun device)
or
systat -ifstat

What numbers do you get, and what numbers do you expect?
