G'day Sam,
goin' good mate. 'owabout you?

I often run 15 and more concurrent downloads with no problems... I wonder if there is perhaps some software installed on both systems that is hooking into the TCP/IP stack and causing problems..?

Another possibility just occurred to me: if both sites use cable, it may be they are the same ISP, who is likely providing the same modem/router to both sites. This device may have problems with multiple NAT connections to a single internal IP. I have seen problems of this ilk... Anyhow, it's really academic as you often don't get better performance anyway - links get saturated...

You're only paranoid if you're wrong!
