For the past 4 months my download speed was 1 kb per second and I thought that was normal...I wondered why file sharing was so disliked by software companies as it was so bloody difficult to download anything...surely most people wouldn't bother. Then I read in dispair that other people get can download at speeds of over 100kb per sec.
I have just read every message in this forum and done the port forwarding, but I'm still only getting 5 kbs...wow! I did the NAT test (which I failed) and strangely the IP address it listed as mine was 220.233.7.169. The real Ip address is 192.168.0.9 (I have checked it many times!)Does this indicate anything?
I do have a STATIC ADDRESS. I am running WindowsXP and my router is a Netcomm 1300 Ethernet Router Modem.
Somebody please help me!

If they are all slow thenm something has to be blocking them out, perhaps your ISP.
EDIT: !Client PORT! lol is basically the port eMule uses to connect to the network, recieve and senbd files! It can be changed in preferences - connection

Ok, but did u change the eMule client port?
192.168.1.9 sounds more like the IP of a modem and a net IP, open a browser window and try go to http://192.168.1.9 what happens?

Thanks Dela, I'll try changing the client port in Emule....I'm starting to think its my ISP...they're fairly cheap. I suppose ISP's hate us file sharing as it increases traffic dramatically. Maybe I could ask some other users. I'm with Exetel...so I'll check them out. In the meantime, if you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night with an answer,,,,I'm listening!

as for you ip address, the 200 one is the one the internet sees (assigned by your isp), and the 192 one is the ip address your router assigned to your computer.

Hey, basically like Sly said
192.168.1.9 is an Internal IP assigned by a DHCP. This is used for your network, internally, which is assigned by your router to your comptuer. Internal ip's are usually 192.168.x.xxx.
Whereas 220.233.7.169 is an IP assigned by your ISP. This is used by the Internet. As you said you have a static ip, that means that, that IP will never change (unless your ISP changes it for some reason).
Therefore anywhere you go on the internet will be using the 220 IP whereas if you were to eg Share files on a home network, it would be using the 192 IP.

Thanks CoZZa, that means that my IP is OK. So what else could be making my downloads so slow?

You would not believe the amount of factors that would determine speeds on P2P! Especially eMule. On eMule, its the long term uploaders who really see the benefits of all their uploading! They get credit and priority for their work. Also other, unavoidable factors like the line quality of the cables your ISP supplies, your distance even from the source computers, your TCP/IP configurations etc....
If you are trying to get your overall speed up I suggest you try http://www.speedguide.net

Hey guys, I use a linksys set-up at my house and have a network speed of 100mbps on the network wich is pretty average.
On most days the best internet speed is usually around 1.5mbps.
todays cnet.com test showed me an bandwidth speed of 2933.1 kbps.
