Default poor download speeds

I just upgraded to the 3.7.3 Beta on a Win200 machine w/Comcast cable, belkin cable router. I noticed that my download speeds have dropped dramatically. Where I used to be able to download in the 75-100 rance, I am now in the 10-20 range. My downloads start out at about 20 and taper off to 0 where they sit until they reconnect and then the cycle repeats itself again. I am only getting about 10-15 seconds of download time before the speed drops to zero. I also reinstalled my previous version to find the same problem. Any help would be great!

I recently bought limewire pro and have downloaded the beta version yet my downloads are so slow! I have dsl which is close by and when kazaa was in use my download speeds were in the 100kbs yet with this limewire which i paid for which also says "faster downloads than kazaa" i have yet to even get over 20kbs i dont understand. I have my download speed set to cable/dsl. someone post and tell me whats the deal

Yep. A good number of those fast downloads are because of students abusing their univerity's internet connection for p2p filesharing. Unfortunately many of them are still on vacation.

That would make sense right up to the part where I still show a connection to 4 sources on a download but sit at 0 bytes for over 25 minutes on a 4 star download. And the same thing happens to a download via modem, All I get is a short burst.

The number of stars a doesn't mean that much anymore because some clients send 4 star results even if no free upload slots are available.
