    Hello everyone. I've noticed that since upgrading to Leopard, my downstream internet speed has been exceedingly slow - with earlier versions of Parallels it would run at the same speed as the Mac side, but with 2.5 and even, now that I've upgraded hoping to fix the issue, 3.0, it runs at DSL speed. I'm getting a 60kb/s download speed on a T1 which is capable (and achieves) over 1mb/s Mac-side.

    Oddly, upload seems to work at full speed.

    As previously stated, an upgrade to 2.5 (Leopard-compatible edition) and then to 3.0 did not fix this issue, and I'm a little peeved that I spent $50 and still can't do something as simple as watch Netflix Instant Viewing.

    I've tried both bridged and shared networking, and the results are similarly slow. Any ideas?

    Thank you for the reply. However, I am the only computer on the network using Parallels, and this issue occurs with both bridged and shared networking.

    Bump. I've spent $150 on Parallels products and it would be nice to get some help here.

    fixed

    It looks like the 5560 update for Leopard has fixed this issue.
