Hi all,
On looking through the forums I can clearly see that I'm not the only one experiencing the problem of ultra slow download speeds. My history of Limewire is such:- used basic for about six months and downloaded everything I wanted with download speeds in excess of 100 kbs in some cases. I was using a netgear wireless asdl router.
I then bought the full version and the downloads continued without any problem and I used this for maybe another six months.
I then changed to Sky broadband and installed a new netgear router which they sent me and from that very day the download speeds have been awful, 4or 5 kbs with 8 hosts!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sky broadband is 8 meg, whereupon my previous was only 2 meg.I have done a speed test etc. from one of the links posted here and the results are 2555 download and 350 upload. I am using XP home SP2. Any ideas anyone, but please bear in mind I am no computer whizz. Also when the downloads stopped. I couldn't get free updates any more so I uninstalled the pro version and downloaded the free version again, but to no avail.Thanks,
Peter
