adsl2 was put on my exchange so I gave it ago with another ISP just to see if speeds improved. they did, I was connecting to exchange at 11mbit and got average torrent speeds of 300k. which is still well below 1mbit max but alot better than i was getting on exetel...
I have since moved house and only adsl1 is available here so I went back to exetel as they have about the best package.
And i was getting crappy p2p speeds here too.
I used to do a lot of whinging on that notorious whingepool forum (which i'm pleased to announce I no longer frequent)
But I remember someone on here mentioning to me about XP's inbuilt port blocking thing. I passed him off as an exetel fanboi as I built my XP using nLite which has that unlimited port in it so I assumed it couldn't be the fault.
But I thought about 3 weeks ago, what the hell, I'll d/l that util and manually do it, I have nothing to loose.
I'll be BUGGARD!!! I have since doing it gotten 600-800k torrent d/l's consistently.
So I owe Exetel an appolgy for whinging about their shite p2p speeds when all along it was me assuming that nLite did the XP port fix when it obviously didn't

So if you are getting crap p2p speeds, give that util a go. It worked wonders for me
