really can't help you there.... Azureus is a great BT client (i'm using it too), but for many reasons, i don't trust WIndows.... (it's a very stupid OS)

if you want sure solutions and zero problems, try Linux!

Fedora Core 2 (currently mi PC's OS!)
Gentoos

those too are my best rated linux flavors!

Check your firewall settings. Service pack two probably closed several ports that used to be open and hence slower BT speeds.

I don't use XP but I'm pretty sure you can open some ports and set your BT client to use them and that should help with the speeds.

installing SP2 will automaticaly enable Firewall and few other anoying security fitures that you didnt ask for. just desable the firewall should bring you back up.

instead of opening ports (or disabling firewall), i just set up the firewall to allow azureus. which was much easier,

just go to "manage security settings" at the bottom of the windows security center window. then click under the tab "exceptions". Then press the "add program" button and add azureus. i have had no problems with that.... hope that was any help to you.

i would recommend using a seperate firewall. I juz don't like the limited specs of windows firewall. i'm using ZoneAlarm Pro as my current firewall.
