finding the soulseek port is so simple that it slipped past me...you are the man. After making it the same as soulseek I get 6kb/s regularly and it even got up to 8. I have, before this problem, seen triple digits. Is there anything else I could do?

Also I never download from anything but cable or higher (usualy T1 or higher) so that is not the problem but as always I REALLY apreciate your continued attention to this thread.

should I still try and tweak my speeds?
