I have 10/100 Mbit/s card but I only get 10 Mbit/s speed.

I have problem with network bandwidth. I have two network cards in my
server, both 10/100 Mbit. But when I download something from my server
I get only 10 MBit speed. I have windows xp and almost no software
installed on it only eMule and uTorrent. I don't know what could be
limiting my network connection but I am sure that it isn't network
cards. Did someone experience that? Any suggestions would be
appreciated. And by the way everything worked a month ago but I don't
know when exactly it stopped working.

Most likely:
Either your hub/switch is only 10 meg, your auto-negotiate is not
negotiating the correct speeds, or your cabling is not up to 100Mb
speeds. Verify that all of your devices are 100mb capable, your cabling
is cat5, 100 meters or less and is wired EIA/TIA compliant. If all that
checks out, try forcing your NICs to 100-full and see if that solves it.

compatibile cable. 100 Mbit switch. In connection properties XP even
shows that my connection is 100 MBit but I cant get that speed.

If both ends show they are connected at 100Mb then I would tend to
believe that they are. What are you using as your metric?
