hey mick,
i try exactly what you aske and it is still doing the same. im wondering do you think an antivirus :specifically avast!: on access scanner has something to do with it. i cant remember if i had limewire working before i installed it. but my limewire and java are definetaly not the problem. it did not have slow speeds with bearshare but a lot of the music on bearshare cannot be burn bc of liscense infringement. mp3torpedo, morpheus, limewire, anything pretty much attached to the gnutello(sp?) network makes it stay under 2kb/s and for cable and everything else acting fast thats odd.

Hi Star
You need to configure BTHome Hub, Use this blue link, it will open on your page.
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

Also java is out of date, use this link to update.
Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Use this Link to get (jre-1.5.11) Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one,
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
When Download is completed.
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.
