Hey man,

Same problem. Here's my specs:

High Speed Wireless (through Platinum Communications, formerly Canopy Canada) In Canada - around 237 kbps
Windows XP
Limewire Basic 4.12.6
Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_06
Avast! Anti-Virus
Zone Alarm Firewall
Router - D-Link 802.11g/2.4 GHz good connection
From Home
Tried Morpheus, same problem as well, tries to download from host, and then downloads unbearably slow (under 1 kbps, usually so low it says 0 kbps)

I am sure that these are not the bad downloads, since the ones i tried aren't popular (Dimmu Borgir...Isis...Neurosis) and they only had one or two hosts. I downloaded from only high speed (no modem) ones. Just finished deleting .limewire under application data. Oh yeah, and I tried it with Zonealarm off, but didnt try with avast off, im not that risky . It used to work fine a month ago, but now it seems to be "not working."

There are 5 bars filled (excellent limewire connection) and there is no brick wall by the picture of the world.

For example: I just tried to download "Burn" by Neurosis from a T3 or higher, and am getting one kilbyte per second, down to about .1 now. Any idea what would cause this?

Thanks
