I have another problem.
With this machine running Lubuntu 13.10 Saucy, the internet connection is
NOT fast eventhough:

1- My internet connection is 1Mbps
2- I'm using  USB Network Adapter and yes, it is N

*-network
       description: Wireless interface
       physical id: 1
       bus info: usb@1:1
       logical name: wlan0
       serial: 00:1f:1f:a8:e5:21
       capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
       configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800usb
driverversion=3.10.0-6-generic firmware=0.29 ip=10.0.0.50 link=yes
multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn

It is connected to another N router. Other machines? I'm enjoying the high
speed. Here? it is maximum 100KB/sec while it should be much more for 1Mbps.

Having that said, the download of One Ep will last around 30mins and this
is TOO MUCH!

...

Okay, finally the download is over and: http://i40.tinypic.com/2gtw5sh.jpg

Everything is fine right now EXCEPT I need to wait 20-30mins just to watch
one episode which is not good at all.
Please, don't tell me to download that on different machine and move the
files via USB Drives :D this is NOT a solution ;)
