Hi..i just recently upgraded to 3mbps internet and when im downloading things it shows its only using 360kbps..why is that?everything else that's using my bandwidth is closed..is this common or is there a third party program that allows you to use all of your internet?

It might be because of where you are located.Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyShouldn't this be in Off-Topic Help?
are you near south east asia or pacific ?the taiwan undersea internet cable broke so maybe that caused interruption.
3mbps = 3 megabit per second = 3000000 bit per secondone byte = 8 bit3000000 bit per second = 375000 byte per second = 366 kilobyte per secondbps are NOT b/s, same goes for kbps, mbps and kb/s or mb/s accordingly. internet providers just use "bit" instead of "byte" as unit of measurement, because with a factor eight in there those numbers sound so much bigger.
