hey my dvd drive seems to be working now, only thing is my torrent downloads are really slow, and it jumps from 21kbs to 2kbs in less then a second. my internet explorer downloads seem to be okay. the highest i get for a 800 SEEDED file is 25 but it usally jumps back down to 2kbs. im useing u torrent. any suggestions? is this ethernet driver issue?

There doesn't seem to be an XP driver for that particular NIC. However, research is showing that a XP driver for a model thats "close" ~may~ work. I haven't confirmed this yet though.

The driver may be an issue. ie; it's working, but will a better? driver increase the performance?
