Well, first of all, are you comparing this performance to what you get from a direct connection? That is, does the problem go away if you use a cable to connect to the router instead of using wireless?
At any rate, the wireless connection is not the only link in the chain. Your wireless speed could be 54 kajillion gbps and you still be limited by the slowest link in the chain. So, it's quite possible that somewhere else along the line, you are only getting 5-20kbps.
Even if the problem goes away if you use a direct connection, it could be that the problem is that your computer can't keep up with downloading the files and running the wireless networking at the same time.
But, most of all, the fact that you have to download places you've already been to, would seem to indicate that you may have a corrupted gw.dat file, perhaps in addition to network problems. The network problems would make it slow, but they wouldn't affect needing to download the files again.
