Hi Chipmunk

I am not going to say I have the answer because, as you are an experienced PC user, you would have tried most things already but I am going to take a shot at a couple of ideas.

Although you say that you don't think that this is an ISP/Country problem but have you thought that ISPs in your area may have been forced by the authorities to adopt anti-P2P measures.

Here is Europe the various governments are forcing ISPs to install anti-P2P equipment, at the behest of the record and film industry lobbies. And, I understand, the same thing is happening in the US on a much faster timescale.

To be honest, I cannot think of another problem, other than a universal clamp down on P2P traffic, that could affect you, your aunt and your school all at the same time.
