OK heres whats going on. I have downloaded quite a few programs that would allow me to P2p like lime wire, Mirc, Morpheus, and winmx. Some reason none of them work right could it be a problem on my end or with the charter modem which is a ambit modem. I have tried everything that I could to see what was going on. I have called charter and they say they cant help, but of course they offered to give me a 30 day free trail for their music program. They if I remember say that it sucks up all the bandwidth if you try to use p2p. I just don't understand how I can get downloads off the web at normal speeds. My package is 3Mbps down and 256Kbps up. So what could be going on could it be the modem not allowing me to connect to other people to download or could it be a firewall somewhere that wont allow me to download. I have mcafee and I'm running windows XP which I don't have the XP firewall on. I just have the Mcafee firewall on. So can anyone help me?? Thanks
