Hi again!
 
For some strange reason, i read something about "nvoawrappercache.exe"... one site said it was prolly a threat so i went to msconfig > disabled dropbox update, utorrent, dropbox, acrotray - adobe acrobat distiller helper application, adobe updater startup utility, and nvidia backend... my speed now reaches double digits... @_@

Hi TroublesomeJohn,
 The first thing that tosses a flag for me is the sequence of wording --windows:torrents
So many times we get 'things that we did not expect to when grabbing a torrent, I'm sure you are more experienced to already be aware of this, just voicing the first thing that comes to mind.
 
If there is something hiding in there, it could be using the machine as a webserver, botnet, or even an email open relay.
 
Of course low disk space, an older HDD and or low system memory could all have an adverse effect on throughput. First thing I would do is run through and clean up everything, organize all wanted / required applications and documents, and chuck the rest.
 
F-Secure has a great online scanner, and from my experience has a tremendous record for sniffing out baddies on the machine.
 
edit: I should also mention good cables and connection many times are some of the less obvious, yet most simple 'troublesome' areas.
Also make sure there is not any QOS settings in the router config that could be limiting the port, mac, or IP range. 

I often get mistaken for the companies / IP addresses that I provide information on.
 
 
Hey Claudio,
  You've mixed me up with a different company.  TestMy.net (my website) provides information on IP addresses, to help people like yourself who are researching.  It's very common for people to mistakenly email me thinking that I'm the contact for the information I provide. Just last week police in Australia mistakenly contacted me thinking I was the person in control of the IP they were looking into.   I know that YHC Corporation addresses are usually VPN, when I connect to Goldenfrog VPN I'm sometimes detected as "YHC Corporation".  The person that was trying to access your gmail was doing so through VPN to try to hide their identity.     One way you can combat this type of attack against your Google services is to use 2-step verification.  Once setup and you try to access gmail from a new device you'll get a txt msg on your phone with a code, like your bank does.  It can be a pain sometimes with applications that require Google passwords, you have to setup App Specific passwords (in a tab on the 2-step page).  Someone would need to have your password AND your mobile device to access your account.   - Hope this helps.  Re-visit TestMy.net and test your Internet speed... see what it's really all about. - Damon - TestMy.net
