downloading music/movies
dunno if anyone can shed some light in this but here goes anyway.
i'm on ntl 1mb broadband (or at least thats what we pay for), a few weeks ago i was getting pretty fast downloads from kazaalite and winmx, then
my HD went pop so fitted a new one reinstalled everything on it then downloaded winmx. problem i'm getting is everything is beyond slow, i mean
slower than back in the bad old days of dialup! as for kazaalite i can't even find that anywhere to download it?
internet it's self is fast enough, web pages open up a reasonable rate but it's just downloading things i can't seem to get on
with!
anyone have any clues?

xp service pack 2
yeah i got that running on this one. just been doing some poking about in t'internet and read that sp2 can slow things right down.
i've just downloaded shareaza which seems to be working pretty well most files downloading at 40kbps or around there

40kbps is a bit slow granted... sp2 does slow things up a bit... as you can see...
