Could be due to a no. of reasons. Lets try the simple fixes 1st. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your ISP Provider? |
well i use win xp.. hmm i got the windows firewall ... 640Mb Ram hmm i got round 30Gb free Dsl connection 128k hmm i'm from mauritius... so dont think u'll know my isp i got the latest java installed... but last week i used to download at bout 11-12kb/s suddenly this prob has arised.. it does connect to lots of hosts too... hmm i just deleted and reinstalled.. still havnt solved :S :( :( its still 0-2 kb/s |
You did you delete your LW prefs folder? Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image True/False? |
false:( |
False means that you're firewalled. It's either due to your computer firewalls or your modem/router firewalls. That's why I asked for those details in my question list. Please supply details of your modem/router. For XP firewall see here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml With people uplding you will get much, much better results. LW is designed that way. You'll find your search & downld results improve. What's more, depending on what you're sharing, you may find you get different groups of uploaders thus different search results when you do a search. It makes a difference. |
ok so i did do all that already... still nothing wat i dont understand is how its become like this.. it was working perfectly |
i use pc-cillin virus scan.. i think that has a firewall too? the make of my modem is Sagem USB fast 800-840 |
Virus scanners are usually just virus scanners but, I have heard of them causing problems before. As to whether yours has a firewall... you'll need to check all its options. As a general rule most usb modems/routers don't use internal firewalls. But if yours does then you'll find out if you can change such options such as which ports are open. See: http://www.portforward.com/sagem/Liv...forwarding.htm which is not your model but it's the best I could find at short notice. Your manual might explain more. IF you need to forward a port you need to go thru these processes (very important): 1. Set up a static ip. 2. Forward a port; LW uses port 6346 by default. 3. Within LW set up the manual port forward: Force IP/Manual port forward instructions & sample image AND 2 posts after that. |
woohoo its working well now... dunno how.. but i think its firefox that had screwed it up.. i had to put an older version |
