Hi, this is my first post on the forum. Nice place you've got here, I hope i'll have the time to properly look round and maybe learn a few new things.

Anyway what I wanted to ask is how I can speed up my download times from the internet to the same as others are getting with the same hardware. I have a broadband connection to my laptop via a router. The BB speed is meant to be 512kbs but when I try and download songs they rarely get to above 5kbs. Now when I set up my music download program I remember it said somthing about not being able to use the correct ports or somthing like that. I'd like to know how I can configure my router or internet settings to get decent speeds.

your download speeds are affected by the upload speed of the computer(s) providing the file. Also 512kbs doesn't translate into 512KB/s it's 62.5KB/s max (kilobits vs kilobytes).
