just a little recap on what's going on....i was just sitting here...wondering why i can't download at fast speeds.

something told me to try a search on charter cable...which is my internet provider.

I could not believe what came up....some posts were from 2001!

They "Charter" have been black listing isp's...that is why the downloads only get up to 20kbs and then back down to 0kbs.

they have even threatened some of the gnuetella network users that they would turn them in to the police...really shitty stuff if you ask me...

I called them up to see if they were blocking p2p and they said they don't block or filter...which I truely believe is a lie...

thanks for all the help from everyone...let me know if there is more I can do because I do love my limewire!!!

Im having a slight problem with LimeWire, i have attempted many time to upload *** season 2 files to share with the network. There are only 7 episodes currently released and i have all 7 of them however i can only share 6. Episode 2 no matter what i do refuses to be acessable to others.
LimeWire says that it has successfully uploaded yet there are no locations and you cannot see it when you search for it.

File Name: *** Season 2 Episode 2 - The Intruder

I understand that my files are read as the origional sharer of the file so limewire does not have thousands of the same file shared under different names. But this 1 file refuses to upload. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
- There is no virus attached and no problems with the file itself, i have checked and double checked, even re burnt the entire file yet nothing has worked.

We don't want to know the names of files you're uplding or downlding if they are copyright. Please read the Forum Rules (click here)

Ive just finished veiwing your post. Thankyou, I should have veiwed it first. Now Im going to try your tips.
Again many thanks....

good luck

u mean i need a miracle. in other words i got ******

I just downloaded and installed the most recent version of Lime Wire on my PC running windows XP home edition

the computer I am using is one of 3 on my network.

I use a linksys router

I have put 100 movie files in my shared folder.

When I go to library I see them and they are all getting Hits.

I have not had one upload.
Does this mean no one wants my files?

OR...

is it that they cannot upload files from me because of my network or firewall.

============

on a side note: when you search can you see your own files?

==============

side note #2: what determines the quality of a file. In other words how do I get my stars?

Dear ams123,

Let me start by saying that I hope that you own the copyrights to the 100 movies you added to your shared folder otherwise you will have big problems real soon.

If you are using a linksys router you should make sure that you are forwarding port 6346 to the IP address of the computer running limewire.

As for hits and no uploads, the hits just mean that someone searched and your machine returned the file or files you are sharing as a result. In the column that shows x/y x=actual uploads and y = attempted uploads. If you see a lot of y and no x then that is a sure indication that people are trying to upload your files but are not able to for one reason or another.

Searching for files you are sharing -- No you will not see search results for files coming from the same machine you perform the search on. If you want to see the results produced by the machine sharing the files you should install limewire on another computer (assuming you have access and control of the other machines) and perform the search from one of those.

The quality of a file is based on a few things

1) connection speed when you first start limewire there is a mechanism that can determine your true speed aside from what you specified in the speed box.

2) Whether you are firewalled or not determines quality.
Attempted vs successful uploads etc.

3) Machine Load that is, the number of people connected to you attempting to upload files from your machine. These things impact your bandwidth and general file availability and thus impact the quality of the results you return.

I recently got a new ISP. When I had my old ISP I checked my IP address; and I just checked it now (with the new ISP). It's different. Is it different because of the new ISP?

Caryl

Yes

I have a question...

I can try to use limewire but my downloads are only 1kb-20kb.

I am currently using warez and my downloads are 40kb-75kb.

I have a broadband connection. Is there a difference in ports with the limewire and warez and thats why i cant download very fast with it...??

I really want my limewire back but so far warez is faster so I am forced to use it for speed. Let me know what I can do in order to get my lime wire back...


Thanks for all the help in advance
