There's several things that can affect your d/l speed niky, the speed of the site / ftp you're d/l from etc and also the contention ratio for your connection (basically the amount of connections to the modem at the exchange at any one time).
Fluctuating speed seems to be the norm for most - even ADSL users
You can have a look at http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks and give your connection a quick test just to give you some idea of your current speeds.

cheers for that

Not had ADSL long myself so I was a little surprised at how much it changes while d/l, even though I pay extra to have a smaller contention rate it can still crawl along occasionally.
