A HIDDEN FIREWALL THAT SLOWS YOUR DOWNLOAD

ONLY IF U HAVE WINDOWS XP

Go Start>Control Panel>select Switch to Classic view
then

Open up your “Network Connections”. Right click on your internet connection or LAN connection and select “Properties”.

->Select the “Advance” tab

If the “Internet Connection Firewall” is ticked then this might be the reason for slow downloads. Also it might be the reason for the status light to stay yellow, even though you have allowed your current firewall to allow your client to access the internet. Try it out and tell me if that was the problem, beacuse it was mine.
