Hello,

Some of you here may have read my previous thread about getting a PS3 Controller to work on Mac, and I downloaded a few games on Steam (reportedly P2P), as I said was my intention, with no problems, going at speeds (on average) of 8 MB/s with BT Infinity. I have since had to reinstall my partition due to running out of hard drive space.

Fast forward now, and my speeds seem to have dropped ONLY ON THE BOOT CAMP PARTITION. A game I was trying to download was going in the KB range. Rather than buy another game from Steam, I pulled up a linux distro on Mac to test the speed (Slackware, for all you paranoid moral compass types, as Utorrent, my client, suggests to) on Mac and it goes constant 8.0 MB/s. When I test the very same torrent on Windows 7, it barely gets to 1 MB/s and is nerfed almost immediately. It will climb, and then gradually decrease repeatedly, as such, trying to screenie this is almost futile.

Normal speeds are fine.

Please? Left 4 Dead is screaming at me to be bought and played to death, this is quite peculiar.

Enclosed are my speeds.

Is there anything you can do to help? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
