I just recently installed LimeWire after using BearShare with the same end results - using AT&T/Comcast cable service on Win98 platform, no additional firewalls/routers installed.

Getting really slow (<30 kbs) download speeds across the board. Tried different port settings, no luck. Was wondering if it was just the sites I was connecting to that had set a hard limit on bandwidth, or am I doing something wrong? I haven't read anything on any of the gnutella forums re: cable internet specifically firewalling access at their level and passing it along to users. PCpitstop says I'm capable of 2000+ kbs speeds.

Any suggestions?
