400kilobits/sec for both upload and download in 42 milliseconds. (I have no clue what that means)

i would be grateful if someone could help me with my problem as it also seems to be the case with other file sharing programs such as BitComet.
Furthermore, there is no problem with downloading off normal sites such as Windows.

Finally my upload and download bandwith is set to 100% and i have set my connection to Cable/DSL (im not sure if thats correct) and there is no brick infront of the globe.

Thanks for any replies

Tiscali is known to block p2p programs, or at least to shape the bandwidth of p2p programs users
