It only affects Gmail. I have tested other HTTP, FTP and HTTPS websites and downloading is fine, at the exact same time the problem is affecting a Gmail attachment download.

The symptoms include both:

  1. High waiting time, before the download starts (in the order of 30 seconds); AND
  2. Very slow download transfer speeds ( in the order of 1kbps)

It's a very strange problem, and I didn't find any recent issues relating to Google Australia. The account works fine at another site with a different ISP, so it's either a computer configuration or ISP - I lean to the latter.
