OK, you had asked if I was on a dial-up. I am not. My ISP is Chrater High speed connection with a 3meg speed.

I can't find my preferences folder through windows navigation, and the link that you offered:

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32552

does not work. It asked me to notify Webmaster if the link failed, so that is what I am doing.

I have done the rest that you have recommended as far as the adjusting the upload and download speeds, disable Ultrapeer, and have disabled the media player.

I have also let it settle for 15-20 min and withhin 5-10 mins after the settling peiod, my connection gets choked out again.
