I use both eMule (P2P) and Azureus (torrent files) to download files off the internet, and I finally thought to ask here about them. The problem is this: I have an official listed speed of 512 / 256 kbps, but I haven't seen my downloads register anything much over 1 kbps for months. Often they may say they are downloading, but at 0 bps. I was never expecting to see downloads moving at 256 kbps, but less than 1? Come on! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The uploads don't seem to have as much of a problem, frequently above 20. Which is frustrating [img]tongue.gif[/img]

This evening, looking at the help and setting for eMule, I clicked the "Test ports" button, and it told me:

"TCP connection test failed.
It was not possible, to establish a TCP connection to your eMule.
Other users will only be able to connect to you with the help of a server, resulting in a low ID for you. While eMule still works, this will give you several disadvantages. Therfore it is highly recommended to solve this problem."

In Azureus, I frequently get warning lights at the bottom saying something may be wrong with NAT or DHT... I dunno [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Is there anything I can change? Or am I stuck with it because the files I download are just crap files? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If it helps, the ports for eMule, according to the settings page, are
TCP: 4662
UDP: 4672

For Azureus, the only port is
Incoming TCP Listen Port: 46884

My computer connects to the internet through a wireless connection that links the computer to a wireless router connected only to an adsl modem.

I have ZoneAlarm Free Edition running as my firewall, but both programs are given full access to everything, it says, and it doesn't seem to change even when I disable ZoneAlarm.

Any suggestions?
