Hi Gil

I deleted the second post.

You need to forward ports to use Primary connection and you should set a static ip and run Peerguardian. We only reccomend our patch, other patches will interfear with your portforwarding let us know which patch you are using and we can give you a tutorial to remove and reinstall ours.

Speed issues are usually from your ISP.
