Hi Gaz
you have the exact problems as me, what is you ISP? the only programs I can get to work with a little bit of speed is emule(low id) -50 kbs but Limewire works the fastest for me and I sometimes get up to 80-100kbs for popular files. I have tried a port scan before and I too have no open ports..I have sent a few emails to Regional Broadband to ask about then ports but they didnt reply. I will phone them in a few days, it will be interesting to hear what they say... But I have 8 months left on my contract so there is little I can do
I only got Regional Broadband because they where the only provider in my area......
