whooaahh there tiger.. 15000 for a 256/64 ?  that a little overkill huh?
but he's right, your problem is your RATE is too low. I'd try it higher, 
maybe START at 10000 and work back down till it evens out.  And try that 
with your favorite servers till U find a happy medium. (or change it for 
different servers) I have a 786/256 aDSL connect.  I usually have my 
rate between 7 and 10K. 3000 just too slow even for your 256, that why 
you getting thoes triangle-looking netgraph peaks.  I've seen it before.

good luck with experimenting.   -DreadDave
