Is your LW connection dropping off too?
Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall)?
Who is your ISP?

i have downloaded over 400 files and all of a sudden i have had this problem that has occured.

the brick wall is there

and my limewire connection it there...at turbo-charged

What happened when you downloaded a magnetmix file?
Who is your ISP (internet service provider)?
Has the brick wall always been there?

dunno what a magnetmix file is, but i have downloaded music, movies, progams, pictures everything there is. BT is my ISP...dunno about the brick wall, but when i open two limewires, the brick wall is on one of them and not on the other. The one with no brick wall download, but still at about 5kb/s very slow.......

Click on the link above & you can try downloading a magnetmix file

You're probably getting slow downloads due to your ISP. BT is known to shape p2p bandwidth. Check the posts below. If you use the forum search, you'll probably find more info.

the brick wall has gone and the problem is still there, it downloads for about 2 minutes then all download speeds drop to 0kb/s
