Why would I have a piece of sh*t software software like Windows Firewall enabled on my PC?? That was like the first thing I disabled when I bought the damn thing.

if you would've said that earlier it would've saved some confusion
was just stating what did the trick for me

and you've tried conecting with and without the
'enable smart lowID check on connect' selected?

what ports are you using?

and are they opened in your firewall?

wait a few and ill post some screenshots of my settings if ya want.........

Ok thanks for the screenshots... I've changed whatever settings were different from yours, to match.

My ports were changed however, to 4999 TCP and 5000 UDP as I've heard amongst P2P users that ISP's are blocking traffic through the 4662 & 4672 ports. There used to be a minor warning when using eMule using the default ports to change it, stating that very reason.

I'll let you know on any increase in speed, and/or the 'lowid' situation. Sorry about the confusion earlier re: windows firewall. I was under the assumption no one used it

not if theyre smart (which wouldnt include me )
i havent had any problems with the default ports

hope that helps
oh yeah, and speed is gonna kind of accumulate,
you got to start it up and forget it,
after a while you'll be gettin good speeds
maybe not klite speed, but you shouldnt have to worry about corruption
i'll take that trade off any day

(before i shut down for a defrag & cleanup,
i was gettin about 50 kb/s, not too bad, sometimes up to 90-100 kb/s,
then i restarted and had to wait a while for speed to pick up again)
right now im at about 22 kb/s after 4 hrs (but less d/l's though))
