Searching, but finding only a handful of files

I have been using this for a couple weeks now and while I think I should be getting more search results and faster downloads I am not.

I am on an ethernet connection which maxes out around 50 KB/s.

I am behind a linksys befsr41 router with firewall also and am wondering if the firewall is affecting my search capacity.

Is xolox affected by a firewall? I have downloaded about a dozen files from xolox, but am dissapointed by the speed.

Any answers would be helpful. Thanks.
