Slow download speed

Hi
had 2 computers connected withh a router
The download speed was about same on both computers

Now I bought 3rd new computer and replaced the 2nd one
The download speed on the new one (3rd) is OK, but on the
1st computers the dowloading speed is 10 times slower then before
(Downloading files and music)

give me more specs on your problem. You said you are "downloading files and music." Using what program? Is the web browsing slow as well?

turn on PC 2 and only have PC 1 on and repeat.

Fun a speed test on each PC at www.toast.net and compare the difference

If PC one is maybe in the win 9X or ME, maybe system resources are low.
Now if you try to download the file on both PC's at the same exact time it would be slower that is why I am suggesting turning off the PC's one at a time to trouble shoot.
