This appears to be a issue with OSX and file downloads only (not internet browsing).

File download trasfer speed has gone from about 1.2 meg to about 160 kbps. I've noticed zero loss in browsing speed.

I've narrowed it down to OSX as Windows XP on same machine is downloading at over 1mbps. I also have made no changes to my router, so I'm pretty sure that's not the cause.

I ran a bandwidth test on both OSX and Win XP and they are roughly the same (11 mbps DL, 700 kbps UP).

I would greatly appreciate any information you may have in resolving this problem. Thanks!
