ok, i was a kazlite user till last weeks fiasco. tried emule..downloaded i mg in 24 hr period..switched to bittorrent..?..went to filetopia..lol..then winmx..maybe 2mg in 24 hrs then found ares..first 24 hrs was fantastic compared to the others except klite..dl about 60mgs in 30 or so hrs...it was enough for me...since then i may have dl 10 mgs in the last 4 days...ive read faq about 5 times but it aint helping..i leave it on when i'm not surfing cause it does use almost all of available cpu..i have 1.2 ghz proc. sometimes i will watch the transfer process...every now and then some one will conn to me and i see a Blast of 20kb/s but most connect at around 1 or 2 kb/s and the next minute goes like this..1.2 kb/s .89 kb/s .74 kb/s .39 kb/s .25 kb/s .11 kb/s .3 kb/s 0.00 kb/s...also not one single person has been able to ul more than 9kb of any of my 256 avail dl b4 they cancel...any thoughts? is it just mainly 56k's at this point? i havent changed any ports yet but may experiment now...i connect thru a wireless isp..any suggestions here? thanks
