David Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Ok, this is really starting to annoy me now... Every time I download a file off someone it goes really slow, even if im not doing anything else at the same time.. Im running zone alarm pro and im sure its a firewall problem but it isnt blocking it... Also running through a router (shouldnt make any difference?) Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) Yeah, forgot to say... Ive got 1mb broadband.. People Im downloading from all have broadband aswell (some even faster then me) Am i right in saying it goes through a server first and isnt direct?

David Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I always get that thing saying "if your experiencing slow transfer timesl click here blah blah.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Delete everything and start again :( Format the hard drive and re-install windows and all your other programs. Long way round anyway, I have no idea why it's so slow though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaZaa Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 One of my friends had the same problem, I think though it was something to do with his hub. Dont really know the ins and outs like but it was something like that :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I get the same because im behind a router. With some people its fine, with others its terrible. Theres no real solution unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb88 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Try enabling ports 6891-6900 in your router settings. I think theyre the ones msn uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Try enabling ports 6891-6900 in your router settings. I think theyre the ones msn uses. ← That's what id suggest too. Remember the transfer will only go as fast as the person who's sending it's upload speed, which is usually crap in comparison to download speeds..
