Well as You suggested i checked my settings and I DO NOT have disable Ultrapeer checked. Although i did find that I did not have the option to choose my connection speed. Is locked at broadband which was not the case prior to hard drive crash. Was set at T3. or is it T1 speed. I am not firewalled and LW is behaving well. I have an excellent internet connection at the moment and prior to crash have had download speeds >200Kbs. but only reaching speeds <100Kbs and averaging about 24Kbs at the moment. This is frustrating when it takes all night to download 1 movie when it used to take less than 2.
