i am at school and i have t1 connection and a brand new laptop,. when i download files from limewire or kazaa or torrent files, they always download so slow. when i download something directly rom the internet like a setup file it downloads really fast. is there any way to fix this?

With any peer-to-peer sharing program your download speed
depends on the other users and their upload speed.

Even when combined with other users having the same file,
if they are all on dial-up then your download speed will still be slow.

Go into options and disable "File Sharing"

Mind you this is sorta being a douche bag lol. It is peer to peer meaning you should share to, but if you are doing it just to get a big file that's like a gig then you can just do it temporarily.
