whenever i hook the pc up thru a router, i can hardly find any sourcse to download files from, although i can see them all when i search for files.

when i hook the pc up directly to the cable modem, i get all the sourcse, and a download at a high rate.

what's the router doing??

the router doesnt have a built in firewall, and the router is a dlink di-604

i use winxp pro w/ kazaa lite

does your router have a rotating IP address?

Make sure your allowing IP and UDP traffic to port 1214.

Your router is probably set up to do NATing.
