right, before i ask this question i dont really understand anything more than the basics, so dont shout at me if i make no sense.

the network im on shapes its traffic to push pop3 and http to the top and basically all the ports and that which are used in file sharing to the bottom so i cant get good download speeds, anybody have any idea how to get me faster download speeds, can i eg get a file sharing system which uses pop3/http?

I think no. pop3 is a email transfer system and http is web-transfer system. So, u can download big files through ur http port from websites. And theres no apps that share files with http.
