I've been having the same problem. Lately, it seems like the entire network has slowed down. I can't seem to download faster than 1 kb/s, and I have a cable/DSL connection and some of my hosts have T3. I've been trying to download a file for 4 days. I've kept my computer on 24/7 and I'm still only at 6 percent. If anyone knows what the problem is or if the network has adjusted or changed, please help!

Make sure you download from the right hosts. Your dial-up speed will be slow, so be sure to click on hosts that have a T3 connection. They are the fastest. Modems are very slow, cable/DSL is kind of slow, T1 is fast, and T3 is fastest. Once you use Limewire for a little while, you'll be a pro at it.
