Problems With Downloading On P2P

[Wizzywiz]

Ive been using P2P for half a year now and my download speed used to vary from 100 to 200KB per sec, in the last few months this half radically changed to a maximum of 6KBs on any p2p program. I recently visited my father and used his telewest broadband and i was getting 60KBs download speeds(max for his connection), then when i get back home i stuck with the 6KBs speeds again.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this problem?????????
Pls Reply. p.s i hate tiscali :icon_puke

Sounds like Tiscali put a block on the p2p ports your were using so basically it's time to change ISP's. And thats sucks dude!

Looks like i have to. Tiscali sucks if any1 is reading this. constant line dropping! blocking of p2p ports! no customer support! all in all awful
Thx for the strate answer, its been really bugging me lately
Looks like it may be telewest broadband for me then

i am using winxp and using bearshare and tiscali 2meg.
when i'm downloading files on bearshare and browse the net at the same time, sometimes my pc will disconnect from the net.
i cannot reconnect until i have restarted my pc, logging off and on doesn't work.
just before i typed this post i already had to restart my pc 3 times in 20 minutes.
when i'm just browsing the web everything runs fine, i can even download using free download manager without any problems.
as you can imagine this is very frustrating.
any solutions?
if you have please send me an email to sharristeve@tiscali.co.uk

It may not help, but did you tried changing default TCP & UDP ports for p2p applications?
