davek is flying high
Default downloads start fast, then drop off and quit before they finish

have win xp, computer works fine, other files download fast(200+kbs), but ever since i've upgraded to the current version about 1 1/2 months ago I've had big trouble getting good results with most every file (mp3's) i look for. lots to choose from, but they almost always refuse to come in now.if they do start to come in, they often start at 40 - 50 kb, then steadily drop off and usually stop altogether, even with a good connection and multiple hosts.
I've tried every tip you offer here(change preference folder, reinstall, limit quality etc.etc.). been using limewire for a year with fabulous luck, now practically nothing comes in. I'm not a rookie, can't solve this thing. tried older versions which i have kept - no luck. other computers in my house work, but not this one. didn't upgrade the others, and won't. why??? i installed limewire on friend's machine lately and also no luck. what the heck??
thanks for any advice
