Can anyone clear up whether my system is bogged down or my internet just too slow? Everything is taking ages to load or play, and although I have a few progs open (Spotify, Skype, DAP, torrent client and Firefox etc) teh resources don't seem too stretched (showing 17% used). My system is a decent one --- AMD Phenom II X 6 2.8 Ghz with 8 gig ram --- so it's no slouch, but this is really starting to annoy me. Downloads are taking forever, programmes are freezing, Youtubes stop/starting... any advice?

Thanks guys!

Oh, Windows 7 64-bit and there's piles of space on the C drive...
