Hi,
You didn't give any information about your setup.
However, I had a long thread here some months ago because I had the
exact same problem. David Ranch really tried to help but nothing
really worked at all. However, at the end he recommended that I use a
2.1.x kernel. Well after several months of messing around :-)). Some
folks are slow! I got the newer kernels runnning smoothly, and now my
downloads are the same weather it is from the firewall machine or a
computer behind the firewall. Well to put a long story it's much
better. A side benefit for reasons completely unknown to me my cable
modem connection is faster also.
Check out this link for details on how to upgrade the kernel correctly.

Hope this helps
Later,
