linespeed fine - ftp download very slow.

Hi, i was wondering if you can help?  The telephone help cannot.  Sad
I am trying to avoid the commute for just 1 day a week - work from home.
I need to download ~500Mb to 1Gb of data to home each time.
I have had a dedicated FTP server set up for me.
Sometimes my ftp download speed is fast (300KBPS), mostly it is slow (14.7KBPS as I write) - I am using Filezilla
Concurrently, http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/ gives excellent speeds (see below)
Plusnet do not know the problem. There is no throttling on the line.  My FTP site developers say it is not their site.
VIrus checker makes no difference. No linespeed limits within filezilla. second computer same.  reboot router same.
Any ideas - i am prtty desperate?

Have you looked here for the speed restrictions on FTP downloads http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/download_speeds.shtml
