i'm having the exact same problem... i used to get like 80KB/s downloads and now i get 0-2KB/s for the past week... i just bought a new computer last weekend, i have cable connection throught my dad's comp in the living room. his is fine, but i can't get any speed at all... i've been getting no use out of limewire, so i downloaded kazaa a couple of days ago and get the same speed with it...someone posted a reply that might help you on my post under "slow downloads, very few results" (i don't know how to link)... if it helps you let me know, i can't figure this thing out...

i'm good for $20 for anyone who can help me get this fixed.
