Find more sources to downld from; ie: search the topic again, browse hosts, etc.

See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link)

Make sure you're not firewalled. Do this test after FW's been open at least 15 mins: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

If true then that's good. If false, then you have a firewall issue either with your modem/router or a softw firewall on your computer. Disable XP's firewall & instead configure Norton's firewall; * Configuring Norton Internet Security

If still false, tell us the brand name & model number of your modem/router.

Try downlding a magnet link as an experiment & see what speeds you get: + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content

If you get very small speeds then the issue might be your isp. Check your natural speeds using a speed test whilst LW is not open. Choose nearest location for a speed test & only have your browser open: Speed Test Internet Speed Test DSL Speed Test Broadband Speed Test Bandwidth Speed Test
If they quote speeds in kbps (kilo bits/sec), then divide the result by 8 to give you KB/s (Kilo Bytes/sec) which is what FW uses.
