Thanks for the quick response - it's appreciated.

Speed of 257kbps

ISP keeps changing it's name ! Will come back to you another time on the ISP.

About 99% of d/loads are very slow, but occasionally, one will just go through very quickly in a couple of minutes.

I do have a router, but am I right in saying that it can't be a firewall/port forwarding issue, because if it was, then I wouldn't be able to d/load anything - is that right ?

Joad.

p.s. Is there any way of setting Limewire pro so that it *automatically* searches for more sources please ?
