cant get things to download!!!
 

i use an i-mac and ive tried and tried and tried with the free version, but i can never completely download anything. the speeds are awful. i have a dsl modem and i download at .04 kb/sec from a T3. on larger files (especially videos) the downloading goes backwards! i would start downloading and check the progress every now and then. once it would reach about 20%, it would start from the begining, but the progress bar still read 20% complete! i was fed up needless to say, so i bought limewire pro. guess what? its no different from the free version! just as slow, same downloading problems, frequently disconnects, and i still cant play mp3's! i would like to know if anyone else has this problem and knows how to remedy it, or i would like my 10 bucks back!

You should contact LimeWire Support.

Peerless,

I have a Cable modem. Of course my cable company says my speeds should be that of LAN (which is supposed to be fast, yes?). Certainly it should be comparable to DSL. I have NEVER seen 200 kb/s The most was 180-ish. The average is less than 10 kb/s. Sometimes it's slower with multiple hosts than with just one. Now, would that be because of downloading from someone who CLAIMS they have a fast connection?

Lately, they've all been less than 1kb/s... that is, when I can actually get something to start downloading.

I've also noticed that the majority of my search results have locations of:

192.168.x.x
10.0.x.x
0.0.x.x

I've read that these are bogus? Or just firewalled? Very few of them will actually result in a download.

I try disconnecting and reconnecting but still same results.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
