http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=4015 I followed this thread for Spybot not downloading updates with socket error #10061 and yellow triangle with ! inside. It fixed my slow torrents download speeds. i use abc and after doing these steps i connected with 430kbps with one torrent and many seeds (dependant upon #of seeds, usually slower). anyhow, the general steps i used (1)unistall Spybot, abc torrent downloader. (2) turn off windows firewall, Zone Alarm. (3)could not turn off norton antivirus, so start>run>msconfig go to tabs services and startup. uncheck everything with symantic, no flash, windows firewall, ZoneAlarm etc. (4)reboot. (5)download (from link above before doing anything) HijackThis, run it. (6) (download smitfraud before doing anything) and run smitfraudfix.cmd. choose update, then clean, yes. (7) reboot into safe mode and run smitfraud again (i couldnt update because it didn't load drivers) just clean, yes. (8)reboot (9)run HijackThis (10)run smitfraud.cmd (11) start>run>msconfig restore everything back on. (12)reboot (13) install fresh download of Spybot 1.4 ( my norton antivirus popped up-allow always. then Zone Alarm-allow. (14)install fresh download of adaware and run.(15)install fresh download abc.exe ( norton popped up and said- allow all ports-yes. Zone Alarm - allow.) FAST NOW. (windows firewall never asked anything. i guess its pretty smart.) have fun. big-D.
