Thanks to cablenut, I've improved My DL speed fairly significantly (about 50%), but UL speed still at about the same.

Thanks. If the avatar is too annoying or problem causing, I can always change it...

Here's my Speedtest.net results, too. http://www.speedtest.net/result/46334938.png

Thanks DLewis! I did a bit (very little bit, as I don't know alot about it) of tweaking with the proggy you suggested, and got a bit of a boost in both DL and UL. Every little bit ( and Byte )helps. Is there any way to adjust the settings on my adapter itself, or can you recommend a good site for this? My adapter is an NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller.
