Hello
I need some help with my speed problem.

There shouldnt be any speed problems beacuase i have 100mb connection.
But both upload and download speed use to be around 20-25 K/s.
I am using "WinMX v3,54 beta 4", on Windows Vista, maybe i should use another version of WinMX or another Windows?
I mostly download from users living in Japan and i am living in Sweden, if that has something to do with it?

Please any help would be great!

I need to know the following.
What are the speeds now you only stated what they used to be
What version and architecture of vista, This can be found on the welcome page . if you have this disabled on start up you can go to the start menu and it has a quicklink
Who your ISP is
If you have made any recent hardware changes, adding a wireless router or a new hub ect ect
How you are connecting (I.E. secondary/primary)
Hopefully we can run down the cause.

Thanks for helping!

Im using Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
My ISP is Bredbandsbolaget
Im running Secondary right now, but i have mostly used Primary and it had the same problems.

I did some speed tests.
I have downloaded a couple of Mp3's and i reached 45K/s at the most, which is faster that when im loading my usual movies. There where also some loading at 9K/s etc..
Upload speed still was around 22K/s

I have had a chat with some of the people that i am trading with in WinMX and they tell me that they usualy loads way much faster then when traiding with me.

another thing i should mention is that it doesent matter if there is one person or multiple persons that i am uploading to, the upload speed still lays around 23K/S on each user.

Your ISP could be throttling your bandwidth or they are blocking the ports that you are using on Winmx. Please could you explain your WinMx Setup, I need to know which ports you are using and have you forwarded the ports in your router.

If you can go into the help room (Winmxworld.com Help_AE182F4EBABE) you can browse a lady named nylly.
She's a good user to test your connection on just to rule out the possibility of it being other folks. And if you ask in the room someone will test your upload speed.
