I seem to have a problem here. My friend that lives nearby and he uses BT and gets
NICE download speeds. 100kb+ and such.
Me on the other hand I am trying to download stuff using it and I get 1-5 kb per
sec. I get like 8 kb/s in UPLOAD speed but very crappy download speed.
Normally I download from sites at 80 KB/s and sometimes higher. My DSL is connected
from the phone jack to the external modem and from there to the USB port on my pc.
I tried searching around and I found a site that shows what open ports you have and
whatnot.
I have ALL my ports on STEALTH. I have NO firewall up as I deleted Zonealarm pro,
and when i goto Network connections and properties, the Firewall option is NOT on.
My friend says the more you upload the faster you download but I left it downloading
for 8 hours and came back and I was still getting 2kb/s
He has been downloading stuff using that for months while I have just started. Does
it save the amount you upload over time or something?
