Hi
I use limewire pro 4.11.
Everytime i start limewire it connects as turbo charged but after awhile it gets slow until poor connection so i can't stay on for a long time.
I always need to restart it so it starts to download fast again.
I wonder why it's happening.
My internet connection is adsl 256k,no firewall,no service pack just win xp pro.

Thanks.

nobody has any idea?
i'm downloading with 4kb/s wtf what kind of pro is this
features comparison "Faster downloads than Ever" ahaha yea right
"Turbo-charged download speeds" just a few minutes

Have you checked on this here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=51361

If so, then post your specs and results, so someone will be able to advice you

yea i did
that page said "your test worked"
i didn't check others coz i don't have firewall

You'll still have to answer some of those question:

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

But maybe your router has (that's just one possibility), though they haven't written anything about it in the product description. Does the small globe left down in the LW window show a brickwall??
Another possibility would be that your ISP shapes the bandwidth you're using (which is the case with mine and I'm in Thailand). A straight call to them could clear this (though it took me several calls until they admitted doing so). It just wonders me that you get a turbo charged connection and after a couple minutes it goes down to 'poor connection'.
I guess you've read about deleting the " .limewire " folder when LW is complete closed?!?
Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Since you haven't mentioned this one:
Within LW, go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'received incoming this session'. Is it true or false? (which would be a sign that a firewall blocks you, though you do believe not to have one)
If this test comes out to be false you can follow this link to see what to do next (I actually looked at those links included there and didn't find your router under those supporting UPnP): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...outer+firewall

Merhaba foolofthehill
Sorry i wasn't at home for a couple of days so i couldn't get online and yes i have that little annoying brickwall
I have another question now.Me and my friend want to connect each other but we couldn't probably because of that unknown firewall
If i find a way to cancel that firewall can she connect me?She has a firewall too but she is not good at computers i don't think she can cancel her firewall
Oh yes i have one more question We tried to find each other but we couldn't do that either.First i searched for a file that just a few people have then checked her ip in results but couldn't find it.She did the same thing too but she couldn't find me either and some people were downloading files which we put to share from us.I hope i make myself clear
PS you really don't look like a fool

In principal, a direct connect between you and your friend is possible (though this feature in LW seems not to be a perfect science). But to do so, it will require you both to have the brick wall removed from the globe as well as having enabled the possibility to chat (look in LW>tool>chat whether this option is marked).
For the firewall, well, follow the link I've posted in my last reply and try those suggestions. If it still doesn't help, get back here and post the results of your tests and then we go from there.

"PS you really don't look like a fool"........thanks, but how do you know??
Besides, humans sometimes look/appear like a fool, it's part of growing up I guess

I did that test and result is "false"
What's the best way to direct connect because i don't think we can remove firewall.I couldn't find information about my router in that messages so i don't think i can find a way to remove firewall and i don't think she can do either
You're good at these stuffs that's why i said that
Thanks for your helps
