    I get 'decent' speed and i don't think i got a router and definetly not a firewall...

    got 40kb/s while downloading an app.

    Going to try downloading a game tomorrow with a ton of seeds, hopefully ill get up to 70kb/s ( atleast ) B)

    I read the FAQ at first it seemed to work like 10 kb/s even though on kazaa i get 70kb/s, i was happy to leave it at that but now its back to 6 - 7
    and i'm not behind a firewall just that stupid XP one
    it sucks as a firewall, but your still behind a firewall

    as much as ppl grip about reading your faq, I think you should read a good bt faq

    the slow speeds are because of the type and age of the torrent your downloading..say for instance a new movie is released,you'll see heaps of people..ive seen 150+ people sharing the one file at once, getting some un-real speeds

    I didn't tell you to turn off your firewall, just configer it
    I even gave you a link with insturctions on how to configer xp's pos firewall
    should turn off xp's ang get a real firewall like zonealarm, zygate, or outpost
    you can import the bad ip list from pg also

    lol i know you didnt tell me to, i'm just a very lazy person who doesnt do anything unless he absolutly has to do it i doubt MS firewall does much anyway other then slow things down so i thought it better to turn it off, plus i read the FAQ, just made more sence to turn it off
    Thanks for the help because i did solve a different problem through the FAQ that had to do with the speed.

    Just got to get used to my laziness, if theres an easier way to anything, i will do it

    If your uploads are maxing out, then most definitly your downloads will suffer. Netlimiter is a good solultion. The BT experimental client may work for some as well http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/. Although the easiest solution for me has been to use Shareaza as my BT client, just gor to settings and choose there. Also simplifies shareing across other networks. Download Shareaza.
