Cable Problems
 |
I have 1mbit cable connection which can reach 150k without problems when ever i download from the internet through explorere or DAP which is great, BUT when i use programs like Kazaa, Bit Torrent, Overnet it can only download at 20-30k no matter what, i noe its not my line as a friend brought his laptop round and it worked perfectly getting 150k off Overnet straight away!
I have a realtek network card cant remeber which one off hand and the modem is in through that, im running a 1900xp AMD, ecs motherboard, 384 mb DDR PC 2100, G4 MX 440, 1 40gb HDD, 1 10gb HDD with about 10gb free between them And WinXP without SP1 or SP1a
i have checked for syware, viruses, and a firewall which makes no difference if i disable it, i have tryed using a couple of different internet speed tweaking programs which make no diffeerence, i have installed newer drivers for my network card and nothing, ive pretty much tryed everything i can think would cause this.
any advice on how to sort it out would greatly appreciated.

Why don't you install SP1? If anything it'll fix a lot of bug and security patches.

It's nothing on your end. It's the fact that your friend connected to a server that had bandwidth in the first place, not 256k or 384k upload capped.
