Could someone please tell me why my connection is so slow...especially, when downloading, it's going at 0.1-0.5 kps. I have ethernet connection so I know it shouldn't be that slow. Is there something in the program I need to adjust. I tried to set the upload to max so that my download might be faster but that didn't help either. thanks

The majority of the users of the network are not broadband. Modem users waste most of their bandwidth just maintaining a connection to the network. Add to it that they are here, like everone else, to download media, and you end up with almost nothing left to upload with. To get better speeds, select more popular files. (ones with a higher score)

If anything has a score of 1 or 2 expect to wait a while.

good explanation
