Streaming and downloading

[Nynne]

Hello!
I'm new to these forums; any kind of help would be appreciated :) My apologies for some bad english.

Currently I'm having alot of difficulties when it comes to streaming and occasionally downloading (bigger files).

The typical outcome is like this:
I start streaming (on youtube for instance), and everything seems allright for a while, all of a sudden it seems like my computer refuses to stream anymore. If it stopped streaming at lets say 01:24, I click on the timeline to start streaming at 01:30, it starts streaming normally again, but after a while it stops again. My roommate have no problem streaming (we share bandwidth).
For watching youtube and alike, it's not that bad, it's just annoying to have to forward/rewind all the time to be able to see it all. But it becomes a huge problem when streaming from a few other places where "searching" around in the unstreamed areas isn't possible.

On to the downloading part, it seems like my computer handles downloads of small sized files (0-10mb), but when I try to download e.g. movies from Filefront, it just stops after a while, just like the streaming. I normally get to download around 30-50mb of the file, then it stops. Re-downloading can change the outcome a little bit (downloading e.g. 5 or 10mb less/more), but I haven't been able to download a large file in months and its starting to piss me off a bit :(

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do, tips on how to improve, or know how to solve this problem?

Register at DSLReports and run their Line Quality Tests. It's best to run this test with a direct wired connection to eliminate any wireless issues from the results. It's useful many times to run this test several times, and we'd like to see each of the results. Post the results link from the top of the test display page for each test run here.

The link to post is near the top of the page and looks like:

If you wish to post this result to a forum, please copy/paste this URL

and your IP will be disguised.

Copy/paste that link here.

Note: You will have to enable PING (ICMP) request response either in your router (if you have one), or in your computer's firewall for direct modem connections. This is very important to get the most important part of the test to run.
