thanx birdy, i have tried limewire outside the peaktime, but i have the same speed issue! i downloaded frostwire, just to see if i have the same problem in that & again the connection had a brick wall...

i even tried utorrent & i am having speed issues with that too!

everything worked fine on my pc, until the day i migrated to a new ISP, i am recieving upto 5.5mbp down my phone line, but it seems like anything i use p2p related is more like dial up speeds!

could this problem have anything to do with my modem? i am using the same usb adsl modem provided to me, by my previouse ISP, fast.co.uk did not provide me with a modem.

could there be a compatibilty issue? that brick wall was not in limewire until the day i changed my ISP, so i am guessing it is either my modem, or my ISP...

would it help if i changed port in limewire?

appreciate any advice! thanx
