    For movie downloading site, you would be better to get a server in local area. Where is your server now? And where is your customers located?

    Should be better with a server in US east coast?
    Anyway, did you check the traceroute from your complaining customer to your server?

    - on Windows system: download Winmtr at http://winmtr.sourceforge.net. Please run it at least 300 rounds and check the result.
    + use the below command
    ping -n 300 yourdomain.com

    - on *nix system: use the below commands
    mtr -c 300 yourdomain.com
    ping -t 300 yourdomain.com

    You might wanna check your ISP to see if they're throttling traffic or sumthin. ISP's love to annoy server admin's.

    Also you might wanna set up a few mirror sites in different countries if you are big enough and can afford it.
