Both µTorrent and FlashGot are being throttled and I don't know why or how.

I use both and they usually report a download speed of 70kbps for torrent speed.

FlashGot would report a speed of 70kbps yet actually download at another speed which is about the same as the actual which is a consistent 70kbps.

Now, all of a sudden, my torrent downloads are only up to 20kbps. FlashGot still shows a reading of 70kbps, maybe even 80kbps.

But, the average actual speed of download is really only 20kbps.

I am using Windows 7 on my laptop and no matter where the internet is coming it's the same thing. I have no idea what could be limiting my download rates.
