im using the latest 3com drivers set up as follows

802.1p =disabled <-- have no idea what this is for??
down poll rate = 8 <-- have no idea what this is for??
flow control = enabled <-- have no idea what this is for??
Media type = 10Mb half duplex
Rx checksum offload = disabled <-- have no idea what this is for??
Tx checksum offload = disabled <-- have no idea what this is for??

when im using edonkey it says im downloading at say 40, so theres theoretically 30KB/sec left to use, but when i click on a link in explorer it seems to hold for a few seconds then the page loads.
