I'm having a sorta same problem. I'll put my details at the bottom. I recently swicthed to Dsl and am DL songs at 100/kb sometimes more even though I have a brick wall in front of my globe. I have all 4 green bars and my firewall is turned off on my computer but when I try to DL a movie the highest it will go is tops 15/KB. The current movie won't go past4/KB. Is this normal?.
OS version? Vista
2. What firewalls you have?Windows
3. How much ram? not sure where to find that
4. Hard Disk space available?89.9GB on C: &3.53GB on D:
5. Connection type? DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?The name on the back says Westell? Model number is327W
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Couldn't find it but I know I'm upto date
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?Verizon
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It says the test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.Somewhat experienced but computer illiterate
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample imageYes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? how do you tell?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall AVG
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).USA
