I've just reinstalled windows xp - and I'm having some problems with my surfing and download speeds. Browsing general website is sometimes a quite a bit slower, and downloading from programs like Ares is very slow, or it barely works at all.

I remember I had this problem for ages before, tried loads of things, but eventually downloaded something from microsoft which fixed it instantly. I'm pretty sure the name of it said somehting about "p2p" in it - I think it was from windowsupdate - but I have done a full update and still no better.

Anyone have any idea what this might have been or how I can fix it?
Thanks

Run a speedtest, download an iso from HEAnet's ftp.
