My ISP has slowed the connection speeds down to a crawl. This is what the problem is:

I use WinMX as my file sharing app of choice. I know, it is NOT Gnutella based, BUT, please listen.

A couple weeks ago I upgraded my OS from Win98SE to W2K. The first app I tried out to see the improvments was WinMX. Well, I connected to the WinMX network but any DL/UL was
 
Depends....
If the ISP just filters or capps connection/speed on the usual filesharing ports (for Gnutella it's 6346) then you can avoid it by simply using other ports to connect.

But there are also some ISPs using protocol filters which analyse and filter the traffic for specific key words like GNUTELLA CONNECT
which is the handshake of Gnutella.

I think Sandvine has a filtering and monitoring app for Gnutella..
 
SP3 gives you all of the marvellous reporting features which are a basic part of XP...

i.e., reporting to M$...

Stop at SP2... Don't know if it is actually possible to remove SP3 if one has installed it... Maybe necessary to do a format and reinstall to get rid of it... Apologies for now, but I haven't checked on the removal of SP3 yet... But, see my sig and go to For Windozer Drivers... Info may be there.
