2. If I can download, does that imply that my ports are opened?
3. Is there any way to fool the id status?
4. Is there something my ISP is doing to force the lowid?
5. What is the max download speed others have been able to achive with eDonkey?

The ID assigned is based on several factors. The main factor is the ability to connect as freely as possible. This is where you will need to have your firewall/router etc. set to allow the needed port. This link may help you a little?

There is no way that I have heard of to fool the ID status.
Some ISP's mainly in the UK are blocking popular ed2k ports "4662"
Ed2k is a network for people with patience. Don't expect lightning fast speeds. Mine typically run around 20Kb as a total between all files. In plain english it will take about 1-2 days to download 700mb if there is alot of sources. But there has also been times when I have gotten a full cd in about 6hrs averaging well over 100k.
