First, I want to be a polite forum user, so I have been on the forum for 3 days trying various speed tweeks provided by the forum users, I have been unsuccesful. My download speeds suck!!! I am currently trying to download 2 movies, and they are downloading at arround 30 KB/s. They are downloading from users on t1 or t3 lines. I have my presets set to download from cable or higher. I followed a link from another post to a speed test, my test results were 10928 KBPS Download, and 344 KBPS upload. I had a hell of a time view the page though, I think that the shield firewall was preventing me from viewing it, but once I disabled it I could view the page. Oh 1 of my movies is downloading from 1 person, and the other from 10. File sizes are 700MB or bigger. I am very frustrated, but I know you can help. Thanks in advance, and let me know if you need anymore details than that.
