We recently moved to a new apartment and got cable internet conection from the local cable company, the modem is a motorola type (if it has anything to do with the problem) all my usual internet connection and web sites navigate ok including those used for downloading, except for Limewire, I've tried the help section for limewire for instructions on firewall settings, gnutella and zone alarm, all seem to be in good order, I can connect to the limewire network, do searches normally, the problem is when I attempt to download, it seems there is an overall problem with the communicationg between my modem and anyone elses ... the only one or two things I was able to download took hours if not an entire day, and we're talking of nothing more than 3 or 4 megs ...

Any suggestions ...?

Thanks ...
