Read the following thread
There's a lot of info about firewall problems. Modems/routers often have their own firewall, so make sure to read the parts about enabling UPnP & port forwarding.
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're still stuck, post back with your details. Post #2 of that thread tells you the info we need:wink:

I don't know.
How could I?
You haven't said whether "other places" means other p2p apps or downloading things from internet sites & I know nothing about your setup.

Try reading the connections thread, see if it helps you. Post your details. You could also try downloading a file from here & see what speed you get:

Post your details...

The reason we need to know about your setup is so that we can help you to figure out what's going on. For instance, your ISP might be well known for throttling p2p bandwidth, or something else in your setup might be recognised as causing problems for other people.
