Download Problems

[alig9999]

Can anyone help me!!!!
When I start to download a file I get a full connection to the network. However the download takes forever even though the file is being downloaded from a few hosts. The speed does not get above 5KB/s. I am sure it should be faster. I have a 1mb broadband wireless connection. I have also looked at the firewall which is MCafee. I am runnig ms xp edition. Is it something I am doing wrong?????

Can anyone please help??

Many Thanks

Try downlding a magnet link from here & tell us what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

Make sure your XP firewall is disabled if you're using mcaffee firewall. Also ensure Mcaffee's firewall is properly configured to allow LW full access. Also, ensure your modem/router has UPnP enabled. Instructions to all of these issues here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Who is your isp (internet service provider) by the way?

magnet link speed is 0KB/s!!!!!

I Have a Netgear modem/router?

My ISP Is Talk Talk Broadband.

I have checked the firewalls. I have even turned them off and nothing has changed.
