URGENT :firewall problem
 

hi everyone,
I have LimeWire 4.9.33 and it connects perfectly,the problem i have is that i still have the firewall icon(which is a wall in front of the globe at the buttom in limewire) in the firewall status in LimeWire,and its limiting the bandwidth when i download anything,i can tell cuz the download speed used to be 4 or 5 times faster,i disabled the firewall from the firewall settings(i have windows XP) and i added the port on TCP and UDP protocols,and the problem is still there,i believe it happened once i was in skool,and i was connected (not wirelessly,but with a connection cable) and eversince this problem apeared,plz help me ..

i d appreciate if u let me know and I can also do the same if i finally solve the problem!

Sounds like your school was the problem. They will filter speeds or block p2p sharing. Here's an example of how a p2p bandwidth shaper can work against Gnutella: Bandwidth Shaper Sample - typical of how some ISP's use it (click on link) ie: giving priority to net surfing & low priorities to p2p sharing.

I saw your post in the wrong section of the forum. One month later ... There's a Sticky at the top of that section which says LW poster not to post here. Oh well ... your post's now been moved. Oh & I see you double-posted. Well that ones now been deleted.
