In the last two weeks my limewire downloaiding speed has completly fallen on its ****. I'm lucky if I can get 2k downloads whereas before i used to get 20-40k downloads. I've not changed anything or settings that they used to be, however Im about to chuck the pc out the window. As LOTR wanted, here is a summary of my setup.

1) OS = Windows XP Pro with SP1
2) Firewalls = SPI (part of router) and ZoneAlarm Pro (both have been disabled for testing purposes)
3) RAM = 256Mb
4) HDD Space Avail = 36Gb
5) Connection Type = Wireless Broadband (512k/256k by Netvigator)
6) Modem / router = Netvigator IP Wireless connected to a netgear WGR614v2
7) Connecting from = Home
8) Versions = 4.8.1 and java 1.5.0_1

UpNp is enabled in the router, so I've not bothered port fowarding (Never had to do it in the past anyway).

Here is a copy of my Bug Report File
LimeWire version 4.8.1
Java version 1.5.0_01 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 952912/10870784

Please help. I've had to start using Ares as a temporary solution as I have high speed downloads using that.
