I have been using Limewire for about 6 months and never had any problems. About two weeks ago, i got behind a firewall and I finally got that issue worked out, but ever since then my download speeds are very very slow. I've read several of threads in this forum and haven't found anything that helps me. I have Mac laptop and connect via cable modem. I'm not sure how to tell what version of OS X I am running or what my connection speed is. If someone can help me I am wide open to suggestions because I even thought I know how to use a computer I don't really understand the lingo used in the forum. Basically, I'm ignorant to the situation. Thanks
