    I recently got a digiweb subscription (BUFFALO WLI-USB-KB11 Wireless LAN Adapter). It says 11.0 Mbps but its so frickin slow.... For normal internet use its fine, but downloading I usually get around 40kBs tops. Also its even slower with bit torrent 7-9 kBs, before I thought that was just because bit torrent is slow but now I know its not. Also its similarily very slow with counter-strike source, slower than my old 56k! I can give any additional info needed.Any help would be greatly appreciated, :D

    EDIT:Also bittorrent is always yellow lighted (bit-tornado)

    According to Digiweb's website, they offer wireless bandwidth of either 512 or 1024 kbps. 11 Mbps is the (generally unachievable) maximum speed for 802.11b wireless technology, such as your USB adapter.

    Other than that, I'm not a Digiweb customer, but I presume you have already talked to them about your speed?

    Yeah I thought it probaly had to do with the ports, but I don't have the first clue how to open them. I was hoping someone here could help? Yup, 11mbps is kinda of crap, I thought its was 11mBps when I first got it, :mad: . So can anyone
    point me in the right direction?

    Ps: How many bits in a byte?

    What I want to know is how to open my ports for bit torrent and counterstrike. Its speed for normal internet usage is prefectly fine... So, can anyone help, it twould be greatly appreciated :D

    Ps:Mac Daddy I doubt that my adapter is that "11Mbps Wireless USB Keychain Adapter", as mine 11mbps is being sent over 1km/800m not 160m.

    Im a comlpetely n00b at this stuff, so im sorry if I don't know much.
