@fdiskMBR: Enabling "DMZ" is a big security risk, since you are opening all ports, and any services or vulnerabilities that exist on that machine are fully exposed to the internet. Only enable "DMZ" for testings, then disable it. When using individual "Port Forwarding", you're only opening the port you need, for the purpose of hosting a service (ie: FTP server, file server).
I would like to agree with bmartino1, but I can't. I do not recommend enable DMZ, since that will NOT solve your speed problems (enabling DMZ may help if you are dealing with BitTorrent or eMule, but not with HFS). DMZ makes your PC fully and directly open to internet, but will not make your connection faster. If your server is working (and you can transfer files with friends over the internet), it means you have the correct ports open already, so you don't need to touch DMZ.
I seriously recommend you try another HTTP server (and not HFS based), because I'm 99% sure you will get the same speed, because it's an ISP problem. If you get the same speed with another software, you can be sure it's not your internal network fault.
I do not like to do this, because HFS is better than any other HTTP server (IMHO), but you can try "Easy File Sharing Web Server". It's not free, but you can test it for free, and see if your speed problem continues.
Good luck...
