Problems
 

Ok im sure this is gona happen again. I get connected after doing some of the other things in the other posts, but then my connection slowly goes down untill it wont connect. 10 minutes ago i was at excellent now im at fair. I have Windows firewall off and i use norton intenret security 2004. We have Windows XP with SP2. Anyone got a fix so i dont have to do this all the time?

Connection slowly dies.
 

I get connected after deleteing the limewire file from nortin then selecting it back to permit but the then my connection dies slowly. What is causing this. I have norton internet security 2004 windows XP-Sp2 with the Windows firewall turned off. If you need more info just ask

I downloaded the patch
 

O_O It said to put in my Windows XP disk but i dont have it! Or at least i dont know what burned copy of the 8 disks the computer dude gave us. So now it says my system could be unstable is that bad?\

Plus LW doesnt connect now.

At what point does it start dying. Do yo have many forced resume files? The reason I ask this is b/c these files have the potential (if thre's many of them) to affect your conection quality. They will all initially queue up, take turns at searching for resources every few mins, etc. All this constant searching puts stress on upld capacity. Just b/c your connection is in the red doesn't mean you necessarily can't continue dwnlding though!

I notices you'e created 3 posts about the identical problem so I've combined them. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29

The patch is a program that updates your OS on your hard disk drive.

Not having your original installation disks sounds a bit suspicious. It depends on what you wanted to install & whether you missed anything that was beneficial.

If you've forced resumed files which can be recognised with statuses of: Force resume: Waiting #s for Sources, ends up as Awaiting Sources. Normal: Need More Sources
So if you have any of those, I'd suggest you delete them (make a note of them 1st) from your download window (below the search window only) & then search for each one individually & select to dwnld again. If you've chosen the same one it will continue from where it left off. Don't select too many at once to search & dwnld.
