Crap, never even thought about that. Yeah, I'm on cable and I should be getting much faster dl's on a wired connect than my wireless. My router is an 802.11b router so even with my Dlink Extreme G adaptor, I only run at 11 Mbps. I forget that when on things like this forum or the email stuff due they aren't graphic intensive. I'm sure the wired connect would be much faster for a long dl. Thanks for the reminder.

So I should be using the software firewall AND the routers firewall??

I've read good things about that one and Zone Alarm that The Others mentioned too. And you use that in addition to the routers firewall??
