I have Eastlink: High Speed Internet service. As I say, it always used to work fine until I got this new computer. Note, my internet service has not changed, just the computer.

There is no brick wall in front of the world icon in LW, because I'm not running a firewall currently. It was the first thing I tried when my internet started acting up a few weeks ago, though it didn't do anything.

I could download the magnet link just fine, it launched into LW, and started downloading at speeds of around 50-90KB's, though right now it says Waiting on Busy Hosts.... I don't know if that's because of my connection or not.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my Default Gateway, and possibly various other things on the network.... I ran an analyzer before when I had the problem, and it always detected that my Default Gateway was not present, and had to be fixed, thus I had to run my "Repair" function. Sometimes my internet just doesn't work at all when I first turn on my computer, and I have to repair it. I think this probably correlates to the problem I'm having with Limewire....
