Quick Reply:
I don't claim to understand the rationale behind the problem, but I may have a fix, as I had a similar problem several months ago.
Add "-port 13094" as a flag for the CohUpdater. For example, the Target line for the COH shortcut on my desktop currently reads:
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -port 13094
There was a redname post about this that I would recommend searching for if you want further details. Like I said, I don't know exactly why this works, but apparently it forces the updater to use a different port.
I had never had a problem with the updater before, then suddenly before the last 2xp weekend the updater started to crawl at a few KPS. This fixed it for me. Good luck, ymmv.

hm ill give this a try and report back...
Ok doing this works it seems, I quit the updater then placed a shortcut of the updater on my desktop, then I did as it says above and started the updater then it jumped from 30 kb/s to 120 kb/s which is definitely better. So Thanks you guys and I hope this helps everyone else as well.
