Normally use Kazza Lite but have since tried just about everything else under the sun, including BT, DC++, Shareazza, Limewire, you name it, I've tried it. But everything I try is just pants! Time to download an (out of copyright!  ) mp3 - 6 years and 31 days!
I'm using a cable modem which is connected to a linksys router (the 4 port one with 41 at the end of the name). I remember the halcyan days of getting 50/60 kb/s, but can't remember if this was only on ADSL. Am I missing something here? Thanks guys! (I lurk a lot but am a shy type!)
P.S. the Shadow's BT client is always on Yellow and this is apparently a bad thing. I'm not running a firewall, windows or otherwise. |
It must be your settings - I use BT, and i'm on the 1Mbit package, and quite often get d/l's of over 100KB/sec - go to your network connections (control panel), right click on your connection icon, select properties, then advanced tab at the top. Make sure the 'protect my computer and network by limiting access.....' ISN'T ticked.
Also check you're not using a proxy server in IE (tools > internet options > connection > lan settings)
HTH...
