I`m on broadband and have windows xp, I`ve done the usual of defragging and
clearing cookies etc, but my downloads speeds are that slow I may as well
not bother. Average speeds on winmx are usually 0.15 k/s, sometimes even
slower. I reckon it`s because there`s so much stuff running in the backround
but I don`t know what is safe to shut. I`ll put the list underneath, can
somebody tell me which processes I can end, and will this speed the
downloads up?

taskmgr.exe svchost.exe
winmx.exe MMTrayLSI.exe
msnmsgs.exe lsass.exe
svchost.exe services.exe
PERSFW.exe winlogon.exe
ashServ.exe realsched.exe
aswUpdSv csrss.exe
getright.exe smss.exe
LEXPPS.EXE ashDisp.exe
spoolsv.exe qttask.exe
LEXBCES.EXE wcmdmgr.exe
explorer.exe InCD.exe
getright.exe lxbabmon.exe
CConnect.exe lxbabmgr.exe
svchost.exe x3 lwbwheel.exe
iDetect.exe ashMailsv.exe
overnet.exe system
MMTray.exe system idle process
MMTray2K.exe

Download speeds on winmx are not an indicator of your connection
speed....they are an indication of the remote machines connection speed

download a file off of www.tucows.com for a better indicator.

Instantly 'fixed' similar problem for me.
