I have that one problem everyone else seems to have where my download speed is around 1kb/s. I have tried the bug test which came up false so I checked my firewalls windows was disabled and norton personal firewall had it on "permit" for limewire. I also have the filter so it only shows 4 star quality things. I just updated my java thing. I would try the port forwarding but I have no idea how to do that. I have win XP service pack 2, my isp is prairieinet and is satelite dsl, and my router is a Linksys Wireless-B Model No. BEFW11S4 ver.4. Thats all I can think of and I hope you get around to helping me because I just got limewire and it looks like it could be a very cool program if I could get it to work.
