GTA on Windows 7

I'm running GTA SA without compatibility mode now too; seemed to have lowered the ping, but not much.
I heard Microsoft contact your ISP and tell them to reduce your download speed if you're caught downloading Windows. Can anyone confirm that?

no, that's not true. your speed is determined by your PC specs and your connection. the windows i had before this genuine 7 was a cracked 7 and there is no difference in download speed.

e.g. with my old PC(Win XP) and the same connection i would get max 2.5-3 MB/s download, but with this new PC(Win 7) im getting max 4-4.5 MB/s download.

Torrent speed is also determined by your ISP's likeability towards torrents. Virgin for example, throttle torrent speeds most of the time.

Jealous @ XiZ, I never go above 900kb/s-1MB/s with torrents. ;<

Phyc0 if you want a lower ping get more  upload speed + fastpath.

Fastpath makes your ping the half it is now, and more upload speed will lower it again.

I had a lower ping before I installed Windows 7 with the same upload speed as I get now...

Utter bullshit. They have no rights to do so. If they would catch you downloading illegally MS products, they would take you to the court.

Thanks for confirming that.
