Router/ Firewall problem?

Hi

first the essential details:
Version 0.5.6
OS Windows 7
Windows installer
Firewall: McAfee & Microsoft essential & Router software( mecer E5104N2)
Connection 10meg ADSL

About a week ago I had to reset my router (I obtained it from my ISP ) and they gave me instructions on how to reprogram it
After reprogramming it I ran speed tests and got 8-10 megs
However my downloads ran incredibly slow, going up to a paltry 10kb before slowing down to nothing- idle
Previously I ran at full speed.
I contacted my isp and they have no clue
After logging into my router I cant find a place to turn off the fireawall- if that is the problem?

I have attached a screenshot of my firewall options.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Try an alternative Usenet client like Grabit first.
At least it will tell you if SABnzbd is part of the problem or not.
