damn dude, short of wiping out xp and reinstalling i don't know what to say (which is a good reason to have xp on one partition and the rest of your shit on another).
though i'm not really sure it would have been az or b.t. as it just doesn't make sense for either of them to fuck with your dl speeds. i think it was something else.

as for myself, i've got az installed on both of my machines and haven't had any issues with either machines.

and besides
who
watches
anime
