LAN download speed plummeted?

Ok, when I first got my laptop and downloaded my copy of GTA IV from Steam, I was getting a decent download speed @ anywhere from 1.6mb/s-3.8mb/s(peek download speed). Now, I am downloading a few free games and some demos, and I am getting an average of 175kb/s? What happened here? My drivers are in date(hp and windows would notify me if not). If anyone knows why this could be happening, give an intelligent answer.
