Hello,

I just got my ASDL connection installed a couple of weeks ago. I was using my PC connected to the modem provided by my ISP but then I decided to connect a second PC so I bough a Linksys model BEFSR41 and plugged both PCs. I thought it was working just fine because I ran the speed test and it gives me 0.98 Mbps and I pay for a Megabit. The only issue I have encountered is with downloading torrents, I use Vuze. If I am connected to the router then my download speed is really really slow, but if I get connected straight to the modem then I get fast download speed.
I have tried reseting the router to factory settings but it didn't help.

Could you please help?
Please let me know what information you need and I will post it.

Thanks in advance
