Were they (TM Net) saying that 'p2p service' is "slow"? That would be a bit silly...considering that p2p speeds depend on so many factors & can be slow or fast, depending upon the number of hosts you're downloading from, your connection speed, their connection speed, how you & other hosts have your client configured etc etc Not to mentions ISPs shaping bandwidth

When I searched, I found mostly complaints about slow download speeds but there were some people who said that they had no probs with Streamyx...maybe it depends on the area you're in, network congestion at the time, distance from the exchange etc. I'm not too sure.

I have no idea why your LW download speed would drop after your port forwarding. Sounds bizarre to me. Of course it's up to you whether you want to operate with the firewall icon showing or without it...but if you're firewalled, other users will probably have a hard time downloading from you. Or may not be able to download from you at all.

You never said which version of LW you're using. You could try a newer version, might make a difference. Different versions behave in different ways on different computers. But if you do update & don't have your current installer saved, you'll lose the version you're using now.

I'm not sure about the audio on your file, I've never tried to add subtitles. But have a look at these threads, in case anything there helps. Otherwise, use the forum search to look for more threads.

Or try one of these sites. it might be easier to try & find an English version of the file, though.
