Hello all,

I had a question: Can my ISP restrict the bandwidth I can use with KaZaA? I was on an ADSL account, with a 5GB monthly limit, 128kbs downlstream, 128 upstream. Now I changed my ISP, everythings the same, accept for the monthly limit which is now 12GB. Only, scince I got it last night, my KaZaA which will normally download files at around 15KB/s has not reached higher speeds then around 3.5KB/s. Can this have to do with my ISP restricting that type of activity? The thing that confuses me though, that when I do a search, and it finds a file, it says the bandwidth is still 122kbs, which it has always been.

Anybody know what the deal is here?

Thanks,

Sander
