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.
I don't install sp1 either ,I have a couple of times but it just caused so many problems , after i format i just install all the critial updates and patches !!
Another alternative is http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweaks and the DrTCP tool to tweak the maximum transfer units (MTU) settings. MTU settings can have a strong (and variable) effect on transfer speeds.

When you download ANYTHING from any server, be it a P2P service, or a legal file from a corporate server, the rate that you download is dependent on the connection speed of the other side as well.
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.
