I have downloaded bearshare lite and I also get very slow download speeds. Something around 0-4 kb/s. It says it going to take me over an hour to download a file that is 8mb. The numbers in the bottom of the screen where I think it says your download speed are jumping aournd like crazy. The one with the folder with the green arrow will go from 1 kbps to 200kbps and the one with the two computers will go from 0 to about 350 kbps. I do not know what this means but I know it is not actually downloading fast. Up by my download it says transfer and then in parenthesis is says 9: transfer (9). I think this may mean from like 9 hosts. I have not changed my port to something different like 1111. How should I do that and will that work. Thanks. Also I am not using the windows firewall I am using mcafee firewall. But even if I take down the firewall completely and not even use one I can't get any download at all.
