Hi.
I've recently switched my ISP. I'm now with Eclipse broadband. Before the change I could download songs at about 100KB/s +, now I'm lucky if i get 10KB/s. I've re-installed limewire twice (latest version) and I've deleted the prefrences folder (because it doesnt say "repair" by LW in the control panel). I know my system is ok because it used to run fine and I haven't changed anything, excpet my ISP.
Another thing, now I'm getting 8mb broadband instead of 2.2mb, so it should be quicker.....
Any and all help would be greatly apreciated.
