Went From Win98 To Winxp Now Downloads Are Too Slo

[Dzuki]

since i upgraded my system my downloads are now so annoyingly slow. I have high speed cable and with windows 98 my downloads were so fast. I share my files and people are uploading at 20kb/s+ from me but it takes me 2 hours to download a 100,000kb file with 90 users! :helpsmile: :helpsmile: :helpsmile:

Did you disable or reconfigure the Win XP built-in firewall?
If not, it's locking you out of over 1/2 the FastTrack network!

hey switec thanks for the response. I haven't done it yet so just in case i cant' i can't find it tell me where it is.

Actually, I still use Win 98SE with all the patches. :lol:

However, it's probably under network settings, which is under control panel somewhere...
