Thanks for answering. I still have the problem with slow downloading of audio files and video is somewhat faster but still slow. Here is the into that Gramdpa asked for.

I have a HP Media Center PC. I'm running XP Home
with Media Center. My firewall and antivirus is Synmantec 8. I have 1 gig
of ram and 170 gig free on my hard drive. I'm connected to cable and my
modem is a Terayon Communication System TJ 716X. My local area connection is Realtek RLT8139/810x Family. I'm connected at home using Limewire 4.10.9 Pro and have Java 1.5.0_06. My isp is kuhncom.net and I'm not sharing this connection. I got back your test worked, my connection was true. The speed test had 1649 kbps download and 335 kbps upload. Download transfer rate was 206.1 KB/sec and upload transfer rate was 41.9 KB/sec.
