i generally have slow downloads (about 5-10) but sometimes reach 30-50kb.

Is my router set up wrongly or is it simply due to the slow upload speeds of the people i am getting the files from? I am using kanat, kazupernodes and speedups

your download speed depends on the # of sources for it and their upload speed, anddon't be fooled by whatyou see in the search window they are not an indication of who is available for connection so change supernodes to see if you get lucky, also use localized supernodes, also try changing ports, and lower your upload bandwidth,remove the no ip sources from your dat files and see if it helps , and if you have a router you need to getkanat (http://www.fasttrackhelp.com/development/ftfakes/)

i know yu got kanat.

most of the time its your sources

Did you do port-forwarding, port triggers, or DMZ on the router?

Do you EVER see files with X's next to them in searches?
If so, you're STILL firewalled!
