If anyone has experience with P2P I need some help.

I think I'm having major internet problems. I use a Voyager 105 ADSL model with a 2.2 Mb/s connection. Fast, no? No, not really.

So, I incorrectly configured a certain P2P program so it was showing Kb/s instead of KB/s. I thought I was getting 13 KB/s (which is slower than anticipated, but still fast) when in fact, I am averaging 2 KB/s. And I'm paying £35 a month for this super-fast connection but what am I getting?

So, fair enough, I'm going slow on P2P. Let's put it down to a port configuration error or the ever-so-frequent firewall blocking error. But here's the kicker. If I ever run the P2P program, IE slows down drastically. (Don't tell me to swich to firebird. Not only do I not want to hear it, but I have installed it, thank you very much and it goes just as slow or slower with SHITTY annoying image placeholders).

So now perhaps I'm thinking the modem isn't configured properly or maybe the driver's rubbish altogether. Over on P2P's site, okay, I'll tell you, it's Shareaza, I've installed the Service Pack 2 patch, I re-configured all the port settings, I've even gone so far as turning off the Firewall. Nothing is helping me!!!

Why am I going slow? Can anyone IM me? I'll be online tomorrow night from 5pm onwards, London time :/

I'd owe you more than debt of gratitude :)
