Default Problem with transfer rate

Don't know who saw my post but I said I was having trouble with my downloads ever since I downloaded BS player.

I figured out what the problem is but have no idea how to fix or stop it.

I'm still on dial-up. My transfer rate is 10.0 K/sec. Or was.

Now when I download my transfer rate starts at 10.0 k/sec but slowly drops as the download proceeds.

I can watch it drop every second. first to 9.0 then slowly down to the 3.0 and finally, the lowest it ever dropped to was .37 k/sec.

At 10.0 k/sec I could download any clip in less than 20 minutes. With this problem I am seeing download times of 3 and 4 hours.

Does anyone know what this problem is caused by and how I can fix it?

I can afford a high speed line like dsl for a few months.

Thanks for any suggestions
