Thanks Begize, I have set up and tested my firewall and it's all working fine with the correct ports open. I am using ports in the 40000 range, but have tried 50000 and sub 1024 range ports as well with no luck.

I'm starting to wonder if there is a problem with the Cosham system. All off-network downloads seem a lot slower than most people report here. For example, a lot of people can get a full 10 meg from news services like Newshosting, but I can only manage about 4-5 meg. NTLs own news servers are fine though, as is their own web space etc.

Portsmouth is full of cheap-ass scummy chavite pikies though, so it's no wonder NTL isn't bothering to upgrade our old network (originally Nynex).
