Is it possible to nerf your Internet speed...

....with a software application like Speed Up My PC and other such items?

You know, when you can 'Optimize Your Internet Connection'.

Before I ran one of these, I was getting a d/l speed of 800+kbs on a site known for its regular speed. I'm now lucky if I can get anything near 100kbs.

LOL & don't even get me started on my torrent speed.

I have regulary run an online speed test and I'm consistantly well down on my previous results.

Are there any areas to check on my system to see what might be happening.

Running XP Pro & Lan Connection to router.

Thanks in advance.
