Im new to Mac and Limewire. Ive been reading the forums for about 2 weeks trying to sort the problem as I didn't want to post yet another thread...and I didn't know where to put it w/ so many already! So here's all the info I know to post. If anyones got some answers well, God bless ya. And thank you.
Uploads seem from me appear fine. Dld not so good. I usually pick files w/ high #'s. Songs take a few-15 min. Avi files (350MB) take from 3-8 hrs. made changes in limewire preferences and done all the thing suggested on the forum (to my knowledge) I have tried firewalls on and off...w/ "open" port 6346. Further, I did the picture test I found posted by LOTR and it went at abot 46kb/s. I've done speed tests with good results. **Portprobe results show my puter to be in full stealth mode. Port 6346 status CLOSED. Bug report: recieved this session: false. I'm now checking out Portforward.com but really I don't know much about all this and im not sure I shoud go there just yet. This is why Im asking for help. If the answers are already out there Im sorry for the new thread and please just direct my to faster happier file sharing.

OS X 10.2.8 memory 256 processor 800 G4 Imac
SBCYahoo DSL upload 384-512kbps/dld 1.5-3Mbps
I dont believe SBC yahoo blocks p2p sharing?

Thanks for all the groovy tunes and flix so far...
