Well Skype uses about 4k - He has Netpeeker running and it shows what uses what. I think there must be USB problem with downloads cos As I say if he start a download lets say - Skype goes down to 1k and the download uses most if not all the connection - thus why skype goes bad. Odd that it has the oppisite effect on say gaming but maybe the traffic is prioity on TCP over UDP maybe (Im guessing a game uses UDP?).
Now you come to mention it - he has USB speakers plugged in as well as USB modem. I'll inform him to buy like yesterday a Network capable ADSL modem to see if that stops the problem - thanks for the reply
