I have a very strong connection, my xp firewall is configured to allow ports 6349 and 6346 on tcp and udb. i can download but never over 3kb/s. Can anyone please help me? On tools - options i have tried to listen on ports 80 and others mentioned in these forums, no joy. I was thinking it may have something to do with router by sounds of other threads but can't follow them enough to know what and if i have a router??
