Check your firewall
to see what the hell is going through it. Check outgoing and downloading.
If emule is running and sharing/downloading, it may eat your bandwidth a hell of a lot.

Edit : If you have no firewall/virus checker/correct patches, chances are you've been Zombied.

I have an idea!
Since I mainly use this computer, and it's very clean. I run a virus scanner and spyware remover every day. But what I'm getting at, is that one of my other computers might be a zombie pc or have some sort of virus. Well I'm off to check that and if nothing turns up I'll see you all tomorrow, can't stand this slowness anymore.
