I would be thrilled if I had download speeds of 5 - 12 KB/s. I am usually getting 0 - 2 KB/s on a DSL connection -- 4 or 5 KB/s would be fast to me now. I have been using LimeWire for several years and have never had this slowness problem, which started a few weeks ago. I went Pro, thinking that would help. It didn't. I have re-installed LW twice without success. Does anybody have any idea what might be going on?
