hey got the same problem, downloads are very slow, sometimes even below 5KB/s even with 5 hosts+ downloading from.

Example, downloading 350MB avi. file at Cable/DSL speeds from 3 - 7 users and speeds are below 7KB/s.

My configuration is Windows SP2 with integrated firewall turned off, norton 2005 firewall is running instead but i have set norton to 'permit all' for limewire in the firewall programs tab.

My internet connection is a DSL modem 2.2mbps PlusNet broadband. I have run the bug report which came back 'true' not false. I am an ultrapeer.

I have tried reinstalling limewire to no avail. When i first downloaded it speeds weren't even above 20KB/s now im lucky if they get above 10 even with 5+ users on a 4 star file with lots of '#' and with turbocharged quality. Im despairing. Apparently I should be getting speeds of 150KB/s+ with my connection speed/type as i downloaded that movie to test my speeds i should be getting from another post on the forum which downloaded at around 175KB/s - 200KB/s.

I have Limewire vers. 4.8.1 PRO and Java 1.5..

Someone please help - had this problems for weeks now - cant seem to find a solution to boost my speeds.

Is there some way i can check to see if norton or windows is blocking or restricting the 6346 ports needed?? Can iconfigure anything in Windows or Norton Internet Security to help Limewire to function the way it should for my Internet connection?

I even sharing over 350 files to allow my uploads to boost my downloads but still nothing. HELP!

If you need any more info about my situation then let me know so you can help
