I've been using Limewire for quite sometime without any trouble, but of late I'm unable to Connect to the network to the network at all during the day, it won't connect beyond the first green bar,I only get fully connected to the network after 7 or 8pm I had to download the installer for the latest version at night as it repeatly failed during the day.

XP Pro, Zone Alarm, 256 RAM, 50 GB disk space available Dial up,
Connected from home

I've tried this test when fully connected to the network : http://www3.limewire.com:6346 and got this error message :The page cannot be displayed.

My net speed is 48kbps and I get a download speed of 6kb when fully connected to the network .. is this all I should expect
Could you please recommend any other Spyware free P2P Programs

Any suggestions ?
