So I'm on a school network, and it says I'm connected at 100Mbps. There is no wall in front of the globe, so it's not being blocked by a firewall that I know of. I did the speed test at speakeasy.net and it says my download speed is 1440kbps and my upload speed is 1576kbps. However, when I try to download a song on limewire, it only downloads 5KB/s, while my roomate, who is on the same internet, but a different connection in the room, downloads files at 50KB/s or higher sometimes. He has a Sony ****, and I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, both with XP. Also, I don't think it's my computer, because I usually download files and programs from the internet at 25-50KB/s or higher.

I followed the forum on configuring limewire to get max download speed, but that didn't help at all...except maybe adding 1 or 2KB/s.

What am I doing wrong? Why is my speed so much slower than his?
