Sounds like your school was the problem. They will filter speeds or block p2p sharing. Here's an example of how a p2p bandwidth shaper can work against Gnutella: Bandwidth Shaper Sample - typical of how some ISP's use it (click on link) ie: giving priority to net surfing & low priorities to p2p sharing.

I saw your post in the wrong section of the forum. One month later ... There's a Sticky at the top of that section which says LW poster not to post here. Oh well ... your post's now been moved. Oh & I see you double-posted. Well that ones now been deleted.
