College brings in a complex situation. Are you connecting thru the college's internet service or are you connecting via the college's accommodation connection or ... ? Many colleges block or shape bandwidth for p2p nowadays. They might have detected your use & put a block or shaper in place.

To delete your LW preferences, see the image attachments I've given in that link (bottom of page) It will show you how to find & how to delete the preferences folder. If you're using LW 4.10 or later then you'll find your preferences in a "hidden" folder called Application Data.
