Fair enough--you can always dump the stats other posters need into a sig or something.

I don't know anything about XP (OSX here), but when someone else noted a change, I couldn't confirm the problem http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...7785#post87785 Maybe if you try the same test that will give you more info to work with.

Can you rule out that it's not just the hosts serving up the file? That's the usual reason speeds are inconsistent--the only way to get around this is to find lots of sources.

An other setting that might limit the sources you can find is if "Allow Partial Sharing" is turned off in the uploads options.

That's all I can think of for now--hope you can get better speeds.

Cheers
