I am currently using MW v1.3b18 and have noticed a degradation in my netowkr speeds. Webpages take a while to load and also whenever I try to download files, even ones that are a few MBs, the download process freezes up.

Has anyone experienced this issue? I am going to do some testing this weekend because I suspect that it may be hardware-related. I will port my MW install to another PC and see how things go.

That would be my first guess is a hardware lockup. If you can, monitor the CPU usage while doing this downloads. If you see some CPU constant 100% usage, it's a good indicator of some system problems (hardware not responding properly, etc).

It looks like it was a bad WAN NIC card. After replacing it, all is working great again.
