Try following the instructions in the first post to alter your MTU settings. You connecting just short of the maximum possible so that is good.

Try downloading from here: ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.fr...md64-disc2.iso

What speeds do you get?

i just ran the largest mtu and it stated that i could move my bar to 15000, should i m ove the bar to 15000 now and leave it there?

No there is a little box below the slider bar, marked MTU. I am doing this from memory as not at home. If that is set to 1500 then no change is needed.
try the download and see what speeds you get.
