Red face Computer question regarding Windows XP

My downloads on KaZaA are very slow after I upgraded to Windows XP. Any thoughts or similar problems?

Also, my mouse clicks are very weird. When I click on a buttom, I see the buttom pressed, but it won't work until I move my mouse away from where I clicked.

Lemme look at the old things that suck checklist..
Windows XP? Check.
Kazaa? Check.

Get WinMX instead. No spyware.

Even though my computer is kinda old, Windows XP runs smoothly on it.

Pentium III 700 - 512Mb RAM
Geforce4 MX 440 - 64Mb
Sound Blaster Live!
Samsung HD 80Gb
Quatum HD 20Gb
LG DVD/CD-RW

The downloads seems to be locked at 15kb/s, even though there is not limitations turned on the Kazaa options and my IPS can go up to 300kb/s.

There's the problem!

Seriously though, have you used Spybot or AdAware or any other removal tool? have you gone to run>msconfig>startups and unchecked everything but your internet connection, systray and other necessities? Dumped temp files? Scandisk/Defrag? Virus scan?

I'll try it with Windows XP to see if I get the same problem.

Did you check that there was nothing up with your ISP? Cable connections/DSL connections (I assume)?

Yes. I use Ad-Aware 6 with the latest difinition. I also unchecked the unnecessary crap that loads on the boot on MSCONFIG. I have no temp file and my HD was recently formatted.

I'm starting to suspect that my server could have limited the download bandwith ONLY for Kazaa. Would that be possible?

I think everything else is fine. I just download a huge file at 160kb/s.

I also heard something like forcing Windows to open more sock connections to speed up the transfer... Any thoughts?

Netphoria will run on any old piece of shit, but you should take pride in a good porn machine.
