kittiepaws Remoc right, no more address forcing in last two years LW versions. To be safe, have separate folder for all files in your LW 'Library'. Then download latest free version LW 4.13.12 BETA, configure under Tools/options, and try it, no forcing needed. If that doesn't work (make sure have separate LW content folder), go to 'Control Panel' and uninstall any LW version/s listed there (should only be one, but a few people are getting double LW desktop icons). Then, install same LW 4.13.12 BETA and configure again. The last has worked for two friends, but senior members/monitors may be unhappy with that recommendation.

asriel57 6_pac correct about 'License'. Your reply after his advice said all connections looked normal but you didn't get as far as licensing change as he suggested. If you get that far, you can change licensing. As for double icons, check your Program files & Control Panel-add/uninstall for two LW versions on your system. Refer you to suggestions to Kittiepaws above this.

knj If your configs correct, very good chance your Internet Service Provider is using 'Traffic Shaping' or 'Bandwidth Throttling' (same thing) on LWire and other p2ps. There are quite a few very recent complaint/explanation Posts about this subject under 'Download/Upload Problems'. If everything you down & upload is slow you have a system problem. If only on p2ps like LWire, likely its 'throttling' and you may have to hunt for new provider, making sure they don't use it as well.

Luck to all, caseybob
